1 (1/4 oz) package dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup margerine
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
4 cups flour
Filling
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 1/2 tbs cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened
Icing
8 tbs butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 (8oz) package of cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
Directions
1. For the rolls, dissolve yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
2. Add sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour. Mix well.
3. Dust your hands lightly with flour and knead the dough into a large ball.
4. Put in a bowl, cover, and place in a warm spot for about an hour until the dough has doubled in size.
5. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. (approx 21 inches long by 16 inches wide).
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
7. To make filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
8. Spread the softened butter over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the butter.
9. Slowly roll the dough from the longer edge to the bottom of the longer edge forming a roll.
10. Cut the dough into 1 3/4 inch slices and place in a lightly greased baking pan. (you may also choose to cut your slices so that they fit nicely into paper baking cups for easier transporting and serving).
11. Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown.
12. While the rolls are baking combine the icing ingredients.
13. Beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy.
14. When rolls are done, spread generously with icing (or you can microwave each roll before serving and top with icing so that they are freshly warm).
I've had this recipe for quite a while and have mildly altered it from it's original. It's supposed to be a copycat of the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. All I know is I love them!
