→ Can I make these cinnamon rolls ahead?
Yes, assemble and refrigerate the unbaked rolls overnight. Let them come to room temperature before baking in the morning.
→ What’s the best bourbon to use for the glaze?
A smooth, mid-range bourbon works nicely. Use one you like, avoiding flavored options for a balanced maple-bourbon note.
→ Do I have to include bourbon in the frosting?
No, you can omit bourbon for an alcohol-free version. The maple syrup alone provides great flavor.
→ How should I store leftover rolls?
Keep leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat before serving.
→ Why is the tangzhong method used here?
The tangzhong slurry makes the dough extra soft and keeps the rolls moist for longer, enhancing their texture.
