Did you change this recipe? I made it a couple of weeks ago from this Pin and it didn’t call for creamer. The recipe I used also called for maple syrup. Am I losing it or did you change it????

Hi, I accidentally grabbed reg size cinnamon rolls, does that matter?
Layne Kangas says
You might not need quite as much of the other ingredients then as the regular size will be smaller!

Do you refrigerate uncooked? Over night?

Yes, that’s what I would do.
