If I can do it, so can you!

Ma's been practicing making cinnamon rolls on her own lately. She used to need my father or my cousin to help her bake them. But I realised that she has been doing them single-handedly. So I figured that if she can do it, maybe ... I could? Here's my first cut at rolling out the dough.

First, you have to roll out a round piece of dough into a rectangle. It took me many many tries to get it right, but I finally did!
Then you spread some butter on it so that the cinnamon sugar mixture won't fall off when you start rolling it up.

After that layer of butter, we filled it cinnamon powder and brown sugar mix and a generous heap of chocolate chips.
Here it is now, all rolled up nicely.
And cutting them into 1 and a half inch thick cinnamon rolls. Whew! that was hard work.
