Thanks to Matthew and Stephanie for sending in their father's recipe for cinnamon rolls.
Prep Time: 1 hour, 00 minute
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 packages yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm (not hot) water
- 1 can evaporated milk at room temperature
- 2/3 cup melted butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 6 - 8 cups flour
- butter
- raisins
- cinnamon-sugar mix
- brown sugar
- ---
- Cream Cheese Frosting:
- 1 box powdered sugar
- evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1- 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
Preparation:
Mix the first three ingredients. Add the next five ingredients to make dough. Let it stand for 10 - 15 minutes. Turn the dough onto floured surface and knead vigorously by hand or use a dough hook, until smooth and elastic. Slap the dough on a counter or table surface several times to remove air bubbles. Place in a large greased bowl, grease the top, and place in a warm (not hot!) oven for an hour. On floured surface, roll out dough in the shape of a rectangle. Spread liberally with butter (it does not have to be melted). Sprinkle with raisins and lots of cinnamon-sugar mix and a little brown sugar. Roll up and slice into 11/2" inch slices. Heat oven to 400 degrees F and then down to 350 degrees F and bake for 15 - 20 minutes. When rolls are done, frost immediately with cream cheese frosting.
