do you let them rise in the muffin tins before baking? or just cut and bake? and if I make my own filling, should I still dilute with 1/4 c. water? Also should I use half shortening half butter in the filling recipe? ( I noticed that the cinnamon filling you use has shortening in it). thanks for the help! Oh Gingersnaps! I can't believe we all missed that! I totally forgot the line about letting the buns rise in the pans. I've added it now, thanks for the heads-up. If you are making your filling, you wouldn't use shortening and butter, and you would not need the water. Basically it's like the difference between making instant pudding and making pudding from scratch. It gets you to the same place, but in different ways. Hope this helps. ~ MaryJane
