Small Batch – Perfect When You’re stuck at home
I have always loved the idea of small batch recipes. They are cute and perfect if you live by yourself or just with a few people. Quarantine has brought the small batch baker out of all of us. The other night I really wanted to make cinnamon rolls so I made up this recipe. It’s just a little bit different from a classic cinnamon roll recipe because it has a vanilla bean sour cream icing. Trust me it is SOOOO good!!!
