I don't have the recipe in front of me, but one of my favorite "cinnamon rolls" is a basic recipe, but then instead of cinnamon and sugar, I spread on strawberry preserves and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Roll, rise & bake - then use a powdered sugar/milk frosting with a touch of red food color (the pink matches the strawberry. )

Mama what is the pudding mix for? I have never heard of adding pudding before is it for flavor or moisture?

[Mama Mangia]

Watch your oven temp - and you are also overbaking them. They should be a nice golden brown.
