Classic Cinnamon RollsĀ 

Just a classic cinnamon roll recipe for your enjoyment. I have yet to get them to turn out like the ones from my childhood little local restaurant, but these are great on a cold winter morning. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Rolls 

1/4 cup sugar

1 pkg yeast

1 egg

1 cup very warm water 

1 T melted butter

Mix these until blended. Add 3 cups of flour. When mixed, place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a towel, put in a warm place and allow to double in size. Spread flour on counter and roll out dough into a rectangle. Melt 6 T of butter and spread over dough. Sprinkle with about 1 cup of brown sugar and then 5 T cinnamon. Roll the rectangle up so you have a roll. Cut into 2″ slices and arrange on a sprayed cookie sheet. Again, cover and put in a warm place, allowing them rise to the size you want. Bake rolls at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add frosting. Enjoy!

Frosting

1 cup butter room temperature 

4 cups powdered sugar 

2 T vanilla 

3 T milk

Mix well with a mixer.
