On Friday last week my loving hubby decided to "surprise" us by bringing home a 4 lb Cinnamon Roll from Lulu's Jailhouse Cafe. He had seen the enormous pastry on and episode of Man Vs. Food and for $5, you can't beat the experience, or the taste

I was afraid that for the size it would be lacking a cinnamon roll's traditional delicious qualities: soft chewy center, crisp outer layer, ooey-gooey cinnamon and icing all over. Let me assure you that it more than met our expectations. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish I had a family big enough to eat it all.

If you would like to give this bad boy a try yourself, head on over to Lulu's at 918 Main St here in San Antonio. You can eat it fresh there at the cafe, or take it home like we did, and warm it up in the oven.
Even though this crazy amazing cinnamon roll was worth every penny, I would like to try making some from scratch. Have you ever made cinnamon rolls? Do you have a favorite recipe or any advice you could share about making them?
WHOA!!! You bought that Ginormous Thing for only $5. What a steal! When I visit we MUST get one!
ReplyDeleteIt really was a steal! They have a "Texas Sized" Chicken Fried Steak that I hear is AMAZING as well. Kevin said it was less than $4 and could feed our whole family. You've got to love places that offer amazing food at decent prices smack in the middle of a big city. When you come visit we'll definitely be getting the big cinnamon roll! :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly? Cinnamon rolls are a LOT of work and I haven't found that they're worth it. Just indulge in store bought ones once in a while and save the headache!
ReplyDeletemmm...I could tackle that on my own. I'd sleep for a week then, and then have to roll off the couch, but yum! The soft gooey center part is the best!
ReplyDeleteEverything really is bigger in Texas, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI have made wonderfully yummy cinnamon rolls from a recipe in.... I think it was Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison. If you are still interested, email me and I'll double check.
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious!! I want one!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with snoflake, as good as that looks, I've found them to be more trouble than it's worth to make them. Pillsbury gives you pre-made dough, you can be creative with shaping. :-)
