Perfect Cinnamon Rolls
"These rolls turn out far superior when I use whole milk but I've also made them with 2% and they're delicious (just not quite as tender). Also, if you don't have instant yeast and want to use active dry, up the amount to 2 1/2 tablespoons and dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup water with a pinch of sugar. If doing this, you'll need to add a bit more flour than if following the recipe using instant yeast...."
