sweet rolls from camarillo, ca
Camarillo is a beautiful little California town about an hour north of LA on US 101. Its growth was stimulated by pilots from LAX moving there in the 1960's. This recipe is from Grandma Nell, my wife's mother. We had these sweet rolls countless times when we lived there. Now you can too. These can be frozen without frosting. Heat as needed and then frost.

If you want a special breakfast your family will devour, try making these sweet rolls. They're slightly different from a traditional cinnamon roll because they do not have a strong cinnamon or brown sugar flavor. They only require one rise, so the preparation is shorter than normal. Soft and fluffy, these rolls have just the right sweetness with the thick and creamy frosting on top. This is a solid recipe for ooey, gooey wonderful sweet rolls... Just the way we like them!
