Best Cinnamon Roll

When one of the flour-caked veterans who oversaw Kansas City's oldest kosher bakery left a few years ago, he took the recipe for baked cinnamon rolls with him. But New York Bakery and Delicatessen owners Jim and Barbara Holzmark didn't turn sour over losing that particular sweet roll. Their fried cinnamon roll -- a glazed spiral of thick pastry laden with butter, cinnamon and sugar -- was always a bigger seller. The rolls come out of the oven around 8 a.m., when a metal tray of the four-inch beauties, still warm and gooey, appears in the glass display case. Maybe it's the yeast, maybe it's the sugar, but anticipating one of these rolls and a fresh cup of coffee makes it a lot easier to rise and shine in the morning.
