cinnamon rolls

Christmas Morning and Cinnamon Rolls go together like Christmas and Cinnamon Rolls
The secret to cooking is organization.  I like to set everything out in tidy little bowls before I start doing anything.  If you start to mix something and then have to go find something buried in the fridge, it is likely something will go terribly wrong (like Abby stealing all your chocolate chips and replacing them with raisins).  
Ingredients
​
Ingredients for Rolls
  • 2 1/4 cups of hot water
  • 1/2 can (3/4 cup) evaporate milk
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dry potatoes (potato buds)
  • 1 1/2 tsp butter extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp yeast
  • ​4 cups of flour
  • Cinnamon and sugar mixture
    • ​1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 Tbsp cinnamon
Ingredients for Frosting
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 lb box of confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3-4 Tbsp of milk

​    Preheat oven to 350
Directions
  1. Combine the first 6 ingredients and 2-3 cups of flour.
  2. Add eggs and yeast.
  3. Don't think about how the yeast are little creatures rejoicing in their new found sugar only to be burned to death in the oven in a few moments.
  4. Add flour until dough pulls away from the bowl.  It will be soft dough. 
  5. Put the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and allow it to rise until it doubles in size.  About 1 hour.
  6. Divide the dough in half, or thirds depending on pan size.
  7. Roll it out, spread melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
  8. Roll it up and then cut it with a string or dental floss in one inch slices.
  9. Place in a pan about 1/2 inch apart.
  10. Allow to rise for about 1 hour.
  11. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Bye bye yeatsie beasties!
  12. Make the frosting while they are cooking.
  13. Frost while still warm.
  14. Eat a couple for good measure.  Don't worry you can have more in the morning.
