Traditional Thanksgiving cinnamon rolls

These Thanksgiving cinnamon rolls results show a marked improvement over the last time Darr and I attempted this recipe. All said, it took about an hour to make these suckers. They tasted good but not great. The outside was a tad too crunchy. In a pinch, assuming I had all the ingredients on hand, I'd make it again but the search for an excellent cinnamon roll recipe continues. I do, however, really like the buttermilk and cream cheese icing. Yummy! As for Thanksgiving dinner prep, our mutant bird* is in the oven and the first step of gravy production has been completed. Our menu is as follows:

turkey
mashed potatoes with gravy
sausage stuffing
seared green beans
rolls
raisin pie
pumpkin pie
wine
sparkling apple cider†

*Gus, our turkey, came with one gimpy leg and two necks. Mon dieu.
†We like to say we bought this for Henry but we all plan on drinking it. Sparkling apple cider is good.
