These are the best Cinnamon rolls. Make sure to watch them closely, and do not
over bake. This is the recipe for using the Bread Machine for the dough.
.
1/4 c water
1 c milk
1/4 c butter or margarine, melted
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 pkg (3.4oz) instant vanilla pudding (I use cheesecake flavor.)
1 T sugar
1/2 t salt
4 c bread flour
2 1/2 t yeast
Place ingredients in machine following manufactures instructions. (I warm milk
in microwave with water, adding in softened or melted butter. I beat the egg
and mix some of the milk mixture into the egg to warm it. Then dump it in with
milk, water and butter. Then I add all that in where liquid is called for.) Set for
sweet bread dough cycle. After complete, remove from machine and let sit for
about 10 minutes. Roll out to 17"x10"(approx.) rectangle.
Mix together 1 c brown sugar and 2 t cinnamon. Smear with butter to within 1" and sprinkle
generously with brown sugar/cinnamon. Roll tightly from long end, pinching
closed when completely rolled. Slice in 1/2"-1". Place in well
greased pans.(I use 9x13 and 9" round. Spaced well apart. For GROWING
room.) The original recipe called for 3 9" pans. Let rise until doubled. Bake at
350 for 15 minutes or until light golden. DO NOT OVERBAKE.(They become
tough if over baked.)
Frost within 10 minutes with cream cheese frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Mix 4 oz cream cheese, 1/4 c butter(or all cream cheese), 1 t vanilla and enough powdered sugar to make it thick, about 3 cups. Add 1-2 T of milk a little at a time to make it of thick spreading consistency.
