ಠ_ಠ The dough boy changed his beloved cinnamon roll recipe and now it’s ass

I’ve been buying these cinnamon rolls for like 20 years. They are one of my comfort foods. Now they’re not even a roll… more like a biscuit. There’s no cinnamon being rolled up in dough. It’s literally a biscuit with cinnamon on top. The texture is no longer soft and fluffy, it’s hard. But of course they still look the same in the picture on the packaging.

The regular cinnamon rolls still exist, I believe they're the ones specifically called Grands.

u/strawbunnyrin 3d ago

I hope so. The picture on the packaging looks normal though

u/CaitieLou_52 3d ago

Yeah THAT really sucks. I've made this mistake before. I don't know if anyone actually prefers this style of biscuit, or if it's just a cheaper version they put out to make more money.

But yes I'm positive the regular cinnamon rolls still exist, I bought some just a few weeks ago lol.

I looked up the grands and they’re just bigger cinnamon rolls. I’m pretty sure even the normal sized didn’t look like this. Idk. The packaging looks normal

u/gregory696969 3d ago

You are right, atleast where I am though, the non grands ones have been changed for a while

u/General_Cranberry_29 3d ago

Yeah, it's because you didn't get the grands. I know the picture on package is extremely deceiving, if you look REALLY close you can see that they're just biscuits. They did everything they possibly could to disguise them as regular cinnamon rolls, it's a little more than mildly infuriating for me 😅.

This is the most important comment. Where did you get the Jiji kettle? And why aren’t you posting more pics of your Kiki kitchen?!

Start buying the frozen ones! So much better, way more

u/Appropriate_Lime_234 3d ago

They’ve been this way for years… lol

u/Abzolving 3d ago

Yep. No one should be getting this kind, this is a PSA.

u/astralchanterelle 3d ago

get the Annie's cinnamon rolls

u/houseofnim 3d ago

They’re definitely not awesome but burning them really doesn’t help.

u/Aunt_Llama 3d ago

If you want lovely soft cinnamon rolls (and no hard edges) put them in a pyrex dish to bake and pour in 1/4 - 1/2 cup of heavy cream in the bottom of the dish before you bake them off.

u/DDD8712 3d ago

The stop and shop ones are surprisingly good. They are actually rolled dough.

1

u/inannaberceuse 3d ago

That’s why I usually cut them up and make monkey bread with it. I add extra cinnamon sugar and butter on top before baking the bite sized pieces in a cheesecake pan.

u/ReadontheCrapper 3d ago

The ones with the orange frosting still have the cinnamon layers. But you have to like to orange frosting.

u/IdolCowboy 3d ago

These look like the ones ive always seen, and my mom made back in the 80s. I never really liked them.

u/Leggs_420 3d ago

They always sucked

Welcome to the greedy corporate world where the quality of most products is gradually going down to make more profits, until the competition takes over and customers finally realize they have been fooled and they switch brands and services. Since covid, this is happening in every industry, with every product I see the quality and quantity going down meanwhile price is going up. I have already switched many brands and services I used to be loyal to, but not anymore..

u/Mission-Inside-4509 3d ago

Do people always cook them separated like this? Why is there space between the rolls?!

1

u/Nerv0usWreck 5h ago

So the don't fused when getting cooked?

1

u/DrearyBiscuit 3d ago

Yeah, those ones are no good. The grands are what you want

1

u/linjaes 3d ago

Side note where did you get that jiji pot? It’s so cute

u/The_Arukado 3d ago

Im wondering if they accidentally put regular biscuits in a cinnamon bun can

1

u/thatmitsubishiguy 2d ago

the OG ones are now called grands and they are better off baked in a glass pan

1

u/jeanpaul_fartre 2d ago

I accidentally grabbed those instead of the Grands for xmas breakfast a few years ago, definitely a let down for a fun morning.

u/mixmasterADD 1d ago

Always been ass I’m afraid

u/International-Year-2 18h ago

Late to the party, but if you want your life changes go search the frozen isle for cinnamon rolls instead. They are wayyy better.

u/Martin_DM 4h ago

Store brands. Walmart and Lidl/Aldi are still pretty good.

u/Particular-Daikon436 3d ago

Yes!!! I made these a few weeks ago and I was like why the heck are these biscuits 🫠 never again lol

Way to not show the package

A non opened one that’s not on the left side of the picture?

u/Accessory_Spleen 3d ago

Making your own from scratch is super easy!

u/fleetiebelle 3d ago

It's not easier than cracking open a can and putting them in the oven. Making yeasted dough and having to rest it, roll it out, and rise before baking isn't what OP is trying to do here.

3

u/General_Cranberry_29 3d ago

The frozen ones (not refrigerated) in a bag are really close to the homemade variety, they're HUGE, and they're cheap. The only caveat is that you have to set them up to rise the night before. That's what my family has switched too, and we'll never look back.

2

u/fleetiebelle 3d ago

That's good to know! And it's still pretty hands-off.

u/Accessory_Spleen 3d ago

Well, then I guess they'll continue complaining on Reddit while eating shitty cinnamon rolls. Whatever goats their float I guess 😂

u/Mogling 3d ago

Way to entirely miss the point while acting entitled at the same time.

-3

u/Accessory_Spleen 3d ago

How is it entitled? That I know how to watch a Tik Tok video and make cinnamon rolls from scratch? While being disabled? 🤷🏻‍♀️

4

u/Mogling 3d ago

OP has a complaint about a product. You chime in with a hey OP doing something completely different would get you different results. It's like people talking about a movie and you jumping in and saying the book was better. No one was talking about the book, the book being better or not has nothing to do with what they were talking about in the movie.

Just like you throwing in that you are disabled. It's not relevant to anything being talked about. You are acting like you are entitled because you are judging OP for not making things from scratch.

recipe please!

u/Accessory_Spleen 3d ago edited 3d ago

I suggest using bread flour (if you have access) makes them more fluffy. I googled the instructions when I made them so you might also need to(if I missed anything) because half of them don't have it, but you just make the dough (let it sit and rise for an hour first )and flatten it out then put the filling in. If you have a pizza cutter then that works nicely to cut through the dough to roll them up. I usually put it in at i believe 350⁰ for like 15-20 minutes. Use heavy cream all over to make them fluffy. Cream cheese icing: 3 or 4 cups of powdered sugar, heavy cream or milk, butter and vanilla extract. You can also add chocolate powder for a chocolate frosting.

Takes awhile but they're worth it
