Cinnamon Rolls & FROSTING!


Never Fail Rolls

2 TBLS Dry yeast ½ cup sugar
¼ cup warm water 2 tsp. salt
2 cups warm water 2 eggs, beaten
½ cup butter, melted 6 cups flour


Mix yeast with ¼ cup warm water. In separate bowl (kitchen aid) combine 2 cups warm water, sugar, salt, and eggs and mix. Add yeast. Add flour to other ingredients and beat vigorously to a soft dough. Let rise ½ hour. Can be placed in fridge for 2 or more hours. Dough can stay in fridge up to 2-3 days. Roll out with quite a bit of flour. Cut into desired shape and dip in butter. Arrange on cookie sheet. Let rise 1-2 hours. Bake at 425 for 12-15 min.

*For Cinnamon Rolls*
Add a ½ tsp. lemon in the dough (optional).

1/3 cup butter, melted 1 cup brown sugar
½ cup raisins 2 tsp. cinnamon

Roll into a rectangle and spread melted butter over dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. Roll like a jelly roll and cut with a string 1” wide. Place on
buttered cookie sheet ½ inch apart. Let rise 1 hr. then bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

I do everything in the Kitchen Aid and I don't let it rise for that first 1/2 hour I just roll it right out and then let it rise for any hour as the cinnamon rolls. Then bake it! :) I'm all for easy and it works GREAT!


FROSTING
1 cube butter softened
1 package of cream cheese
2 cups of powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Beat butter and cheese to a pulp, add sugar and vanilla and stir until frosting.
