Cinnamon
Buns
On a scrap of paper in my
cupboard...
If you ever make these for someone, and they like them,
NEVER EVER let them see the recipe! You almost have to get a bulk
container of butter to make them!

-
Place in well-buttered glass or
plastic bowl, cover, and let rise in warm place, free from drafts,
until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

When doubled, punch down dough
and let rest 5 minutes.

Roll out on floured surface into
a 15" by 20" rectangle.
-
Spread dough with 1/2 cup melted
margarine.
-
Mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar and
cinnamon; sprinkle over buttered dough.
-
Sprinkle with walnuts, if
desired.
-
Roll up jellyroll fashion and
pinch edge together to seal.
-
Cut into 12-15 slices.
-
Coat bottom of a 9" by 13" baking
pan and and 8" square pan with 1/2 cup melted margarine, then
sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar.
-
Place cinnamon roll slices close
together in pans.
-
Let rise in warm place until
dough is doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
-
Bake in 350 degree oven for 25-30
minutes, or until rolls are nicely browned.
-
Cool rolls slightly.
-
Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix
2/3 cup margarine, powdered sugar, and vanilla; add hot water 1 Tbsp
at a time until glaze reaches desired spreading consistency.
-
Spread over slightly cooled
rolls.
NOTES
-
Use butter instead of margarine.
It's so much tastier.
-
This recipe is a lot of work, but
very much worth the effort.
