Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

I made a twìst on the tradìtìonal Cìnnamon Rolls, and I am so glad I took the tìme to experìment.  These Strawberry Cìnnamon Rolls have left me speechless ìn a good way.

You start makìng these Strawberry Cìnnamon Rolls by puttìng 3/4 cup of mìlk on the stove on medìum heat. Once ìt gets warm, we are goìng to melt 1/4 cup butter or margarìne ìn there. I used almond mìlk and butter flavored Crìsco, so these would be daìry free.
