Cinnabon recipe

I believe I read on here a few weeks ago people talking about where to get Cinnabon's in the UK.  Well, it got me hungry for Cinnabon's and so yesterday I found a recipe and made them.  They turned out excellent!  The recipe calls for baking the buns for 30 minutes at 400F degrees.  I did mine at 200C degrees and took them out at about 25 minutes because they were coming out really "golden."  I think I should have taken them out even 5 minutes earlier, but they came out surprisingly good!  They were a perfect Cinnabon fix!  Enjoy!

so...i'm getting ready to attempt this recipe.  it calls for 1.25 oz. yeast.  my yeast packets are in grams.  i did an online conversion and my 7g packet of yeast only comes to .24 oz.  assuming that...i would need 5 packets of yeast!!??  surely that's not right.

i'm gonna wing it and use just one packet and see how it turns out.  i hope i'm not setting myself up for another recipe gone wrong (i've had quite a few of them lately....)

1 1/4 oz = 35.4 g

I have a cinnabon recipe I have used for a few years and it calls for 2 packages of dry yeast if that is any help to you!

that's the website that i used.  each packet of yeast that i have is only 7g (just a standard packet).  so assuming the conversion is correct...i would need to use 5 packets to equal 1 1/4 oz?  that was my inital question.  5 packets of yeast for one batch of cinnamon rolls seems a bit much, dontcha think?

well...crap...i've already started the dough.  i'll give it a go with just one and see how they turn out.  i just have a hard time believing that i need to use 5 packets!!!  you only need one packet to make a loaf of bread...and sometimes not even that much!! 

OHMIGOD....i'm so lame...and i wonder why my recipes don't turn out right.

the recipe calls for 1 - 1/4 oz. packet of yeast....not 1 1/4 oz. of it!

what a lame-o i am!! 

I don't think you are lame at all because it looked like 1.25 package of yeast.

Well, how did they turn out?  Inquiring minds!

oh man...i just finished having one about 5 mins ago.  definitely one of the best recipes i've ever made!!!

they were ssssooooo scrumptous!!  i've got 15 more if anyone wants to come over for breakfast!!

Cool!  I've been thinking of trying it too.  Did you use US cups or British cups?

i used US.  i'm fighting using UK ones....i do good enough just using US ones.  so far all the recipes i have followed have been US recipes....so i've been in the clear. 

Ah!  I only have US liquid measure cups -- no US dry measures.     That's what's preventing me from having a go.

well..is there a website that gives the conversions from US to UK cups? 

there really isn't anything in the recipe that you can overdo.  i think i ended up using more of most things in the recipe...except the yeast.  i say give it a go...and let me know how yours turn out!!!

I might do that if I have time between the housework, client work and family.  I suspect I'll do another of Nigella's clementine cakes because they aren't as much fuss and I have a bunch of clemetines that need to be used up before they go bad.
