Notes

Butter: You could also use salted butter if you prefer. If using salted butter, reduce salt to a pinch or two.
Cinnamon rolls: You'll want the tubes of refrigerated cinnamon rolls, like Pillsbury cinnamon rolls.
Cream: If you don't have cream, you can use half-and-half or milk.
Maple syrup: I recommend pure maple syrup.
