Adapted from: Family Circle Recipes

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
¼ cup shortening
¾ cup low-fat milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preheat oven 350 degrees:

Prepare 12 muffin cups:

In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder and cream of tartar.
Cut in the shortening until mixture is course crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add milk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until mixture is moistened.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing it for 10-12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Divide dough in half. Roll each dough half out into a rectangle. In a small bowl stir together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the rectangle, and roll.

Cut into 2 or 3 inch pieces and place in the muffin cups.

Bake for about 12-15 minutes.

These are easy and figure friendly cinnamon rolls.

Enjoy with Love,

Catherine

    So glad to find this recipe for cinnamon rolls; I love them but no one else around here eats them so...they are made infrequently, at best.
