The Project: Cinnamon buns

 
Each Friday, we post a recipe from the L.A. Times Test Kitchen that's perfect for weekend cooking. This week, we chose cinnamon buns: Plan accordingly, and your family can wake up Christmas morning to the scent of freshly baked rolls.

I especially like the way the rolls are iced, kinda like a painting:

Ice the rolls by dipping a whisk into the icing and drizzling over the rolls. The rolls can be iced either warm (the icing will melt and spread a bit) or cooled.
