This is a recipe I got from my mom and it is one of my favorites, I used to love it when we would get home from school during the winter and she had warm cinnamon rolls waiting.
This is a very easy recipe, give it a try
Easy Cinnamon Rolls
3 Tbsp. yeast
3/4 c water
3 c scalded milk
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c shortening
3 tsp. salt
10 1/2 c flour
3 eggs
Soften yeast in water.
Combine milk, sugar, shortening and salt cool to luke warm. Add 3 cups flour beat well
Beat in yeast and eggs. Add remaining flour gradually, forming soft dough, beat well.
Cover and let rise until double. Roll out on floured surface spread with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar
Cut in 1 in. slices, let rise
bake 350 for 10-12 minutes
frost while warm
This recipe makes a ton I mean like 50 so I usually just cut it in half just use 2 eggs
I used a cream cheese frosting recipe I found here it is seriously the best I could actually just eat the frosting and be perfectly happy, Just remember to refrigerate any thing that has been frosted & your frosting.
Perfect Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients:
2 8-oz. packages cream cheese (light works fine, although it will yield a slightly softer frosting) at almost room temperature
1/2 cup salted butter at almost room temperature
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
Instructions:
Whip together the cream cheese, butter, and extract until light and fluffy. Add in the powdered sugar and whip until smooth and fully incorporated.
