These really are the easiest/best cinnamon rolls. My daughter had asked me to bake cinnamon rolls today, so I finally tried this recipe that I have had around for a long time. They are quick and easy to make.
Cinnamon Rolls
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
Scald milk. Stir in 1/4 cup sugar and butter. Set aside to cool.
~~~~~
1/2 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup sugar
Dissolve yeast and 1/4 cup sugar in warm water. Set aside for 5 minutes until bubbly.
~~~~~
2 eggs
1-teaspoon salt
5 to 6 cups flour, divided
Mix milk, yeast mixture, eggs, salt, and 2 cups flour in kitchen aid. Add enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead 5-10 minutes.
~~~~~
Spray counter top with cooking spray. Divide dough into thirds and roll each into a rectangle.
~~~~~
Butter, softened
Brown sugar
Cinnamon
Spread with softened butter; sprinkle liberally with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll up tightly and cut each roll into eighths. Place in three buttered cake pans.
~~~~~
Let rise in warm place until double.
~~~~~
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes until light brown. (Servings: 24)
NOTE: My daughter likes them baked 10-12 minutes; my son likes them baked 12-15 minutes.
~~~~~
For the icing:
2 Tablespoons melted butter
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 Tablespoon milk
Mix all ingredients until well blended and of spreading consistency.
