Cinnamon Rolls

I have never made cinnamon rolls from complete scratch before. It was way easier than I thought and they turned out GREAT! The recipe I used is from Made With Love and Glue and is perfect. It looked difficult but oh so yummy so I just gave it a go. It was so simple and yummy! Enjoy!

Cinnamon Rolls
2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. butter or margarine
1/4 c. white sugar
2 tbsp. yeast
1/2 c. warm water
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
7 c. flour or more for a soft dough
2 tbsp. melted butter
Brown sugar
Cinnamon
Frosting:
3/4 c. soft butter
3 c. powdered sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla
Pinch of salt
1-2 tbsp. milk
Mix the first 4 ingredients and then let cool. Stir often.

Add in a separate bowl yeast and warm water. Wait until bubbly.

After bowl of sugar water is cooled off enough, add yeast mixture to it and then add eggs, baking powder, salt, and flour. Mix and cover. Let rise.


Carefully put raised dough on floured surface.

It rolls out fast and easy when it's raised up. Roll out to 1/4" thick.

Brush dough with melted butter, then sprinkle brown sugar all over it. Next sprinkle cinnamon all over dough.

Roll up tight and cut into 2" slices. Place on greased cookie sheet.


Cover with towel and let raise until about double in size.

Bake at 375 degrees for 18 minutes. Makes 3 dozen rolls.

For frosting, mix together above ingredients with electric mixer. Spread over cinnamon rolls.
