This is the second time I've made this recipe, and this time they turned out even better because I used our new convection oven. They cooked perfectly - they were super light and fluffy and delicious. I think using Penzey's cinnamon really adds a lot to the flavor, too. Dino and I both brought some in to work and our coworkers all loved them. Success!
