1980s-90s Lunch Lady Cinnamon Rolls At Home

I FINALLY MADE THESE! I found the old USDA school lunchroom cinnamon roll recipe from the 1980s and scaled it for my kitchen. These are not the giant bakery cinnamon rolls we’re used to today. They’re soft, fluffy, lightly sweet, and taste just like something a lunch lady would have served in the school cafeteria.

Did your school serve cinnamon rolls like these? Let me know in the comments!
