Disappearing Act





Thesis writing is not the funnest thing in the world. Funnest isn't a real word.

Both of these things are cured by Cinnamon Rolls.






Cinnamon Rolls

These have a different form than traditional cinnamon rolls out of necessity, but they have all the important components: roll, filling, and frosting. And they are scrumptious.

Ingredients

Roll
6 eggs
1/3 c butter, melted and cooled
1/2 c sugar
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
3 c almond flour

Filling
1/2 c sugar
1 T cinnamon
2 T whipping cream

Frosting
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 c butter, softened
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 t vanilla

Method
Beat eggs until light colored and foamy. Slowly beat in sugar and butter. Add remaining ingredients, and beat on high for 30 seconds. Portion into muffin cups.

Combine filling ingredients and place into a zip-top bag. Pipe a small amount into the center of each muffin. Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes.

While muffin/rolls are baking, place cream cheese and butter into a mixing bowl and beat until fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients, and beat on high several minutes until frosting is fluffy.

Place frosting into a zip-top bag, and pipe onto muffin/rolls. Then, watch them disappear.

Best of all, there is NO starch in these cinnamon rolls.
