Cinnamon Rolls




Cinnamon Rolls

In a small bowl, mix:

1/2 C warm water
2 T dry yeast


Add to a stand mixer:

1 1/2 C. lukewarm milk
1/2 C. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 C soften shortening
2 tsp. salt
*add yeast mixture

Gradually add:
7 C flour 
(I add 4 cups and mix and then the remaining 3 cups)

Cover with a towel. Let rise 1 1/2 X. (I recommend a warm spot in the house or the garage in the summer) Punch down. Roll into one large rectangle piece, 1/2" thick.  Spread with 1/2 cup softened butter, coat with a layer of brown sugar over the butter & sprinkle cinnamon on top of the brown sugar. Roll up.  Cut in 1" pieces. Arrange on a greased jelly roll pan. 

Bake 375* 10-15 minutes. Start checking after 10 minutes. 

Buttercream

1 C. salted butter
3 tsp. vanilla
4 C. powdered sugar
4-5 T heavy cream  (or 1/2 & 1/2)

Cream butter until light & creamy.  Add sugar, cream, and vanilla

                  It will look lumpy and unappealing, until the flour is added. This is normal. 
                                                  Here is after 4 cups of flour are added
