Cinnamon Rolls

When I think of Grandma, the first thing that comes to mind are cinnamon rolls. In honor of Grandma I thought I would share a yummy cinnamon roll recipe.

1/2 c. butter
1 c. warm milk
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp salt
1/2 c. warm to hot water
2 T. yeast
2-3 T. honey
5 1/2- 6 c. flour

Combine melted butter, warm milk, eggs (room temperature), sugar, salt, and warm/hot water.
Add yeast along with 2 to 3 T. honey (depends on the sweetness desired) to egg mixture and mix on low speed.
Gradually add flour to the mixture until it is too thick for mixer. Then knead by hand until dough begins to pull away from bowl and isn't quite so sticky.
Cover and allow dough to rise until doubled (45-60 minutes).
Roll dough into a rectangle and cover with melted butter. Cover the dough with a layer of brown sugar and cinnamon-sugar mixture. You can add chopped nuts and raisins if you like.
Starting with the long side of the rectangle, roll dough into a long log.
Use unflavored dental floss (I have used flavored and haven't had a problem) and cut into 1" sections.
Place rolls on a greased pan. Allow rolls to rise until they have doubled in size.
Bake at 400* to 425* for 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Frosting
3 oz cream cheese blended with 2 T. butter and 1/2 tsp vanilla.
Mix well and add 2 c. powdered sugar with 2-3 T. milk
When you have the desired consistency taste it and see if you want to add more vanilla or cocoa powder for chocolate frosting. YUM!
