{Baking Evening}

So this year for our friends and neighbors we decided that we would drop off cinnamon rolls instead of making all different types of cookies and treats to make up plates. So together we made 28 pans of rolls which turned out to be 2 1/2 batches of dough (not the 4 batches we thought it would take), 4 pounds of powdered sugar 1.5 gallons of milk, 27 cups of flour, and 3 pounds of butter. It was a great family project and took only about 5 hours of continual work by all of us (this doesn't count the first half of the recipe since I did that on my own and the time to let the dough rise.)



Our kitchen proves itself too small each year when it is time to make treats for the neighbors and since the kitchen table was covered with puzzle pieces we used all the counter space and floor space we had. It was an adventure and the boys loved delivering the treats in the rain.

24 pans successfully delivered and enjoyed (we hope.)
