110 minutes
Cinnamon rolls are a fragrant treat that warms the soul and evokes the coziness of home baking. They have an airy, soft texture, and the sweet cinnamon filling gives them a delicate spicy flavor. This dessert is especially popular in Russian cuisine and is often served with tea or coffee, creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. The history of these rolls traces back to European baking traditions but gained a unique character in Russia, becoming a symbol of family tea gatherings. When served with sour cream frosting, the rolls acquire a slight tanginess that perfectly balances their sweetness. They can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a dessert after lunch, while the smell of fresh baking fills the home with a festive feeling.
