Well, the day at the range did not go as well as I would have liked but I am going out again today.
I did feel a need to provide the cinnamon roll recipe so here it is:

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:
1 Cup starter (proofed)
2 cups flour
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup shortening
2/3 cup milk (1/3 cup in two parts)

Filling:
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon (you can double the cinnamon for more bite)
1/3 cup melted butter

wisk flour, baking powder and salt together
Cut shortening into flour, baking powder and salt
combine 1/3 cup milk, egg and starter to flour mix.
Kneed well to combine all the ingredients
Roll the dough out to ¼ inch thickness on floured parchment paper
Using a pastry brush spread melted butter on dough leaving about ¾ inch at one end dry
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the buttered area generously.

(You can add raisins and chopped nuts if you like)

Roll the dough tightly toward the dry end and pinch it closed
Cut the roll into nine sections about an inch wide (use thread or dental floss to cut it by sliding the thread under the roll and across the top so when you pull the two ends it cuts the roll)
place the cut rolls into a 9x9 baking dish and let it rise until doubled in height
cover with 1/3 cup milk and bake at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour

While the rolls bake, mix ¼ pound of butter, 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla into a frosting. Frost the rolls once they cool.

Serve at room temperature with scrambled eggs and hot chocolate for a special breakfast treat.
 
Don't eat them all - you have to share!
