#40 Cinnamon Rolls


Yum! Never having attempted to make my own cinnamon rolls, I was pleasantly and sweetly surprised by these treats. I look forward to making these for years to come as people visit or need a breakfast dish to share. Delicious!

Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine, softened
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25oz) package instant yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cups raisins

Directions:
1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in margarine; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small mix, together brown sugar, cinnamon and softened margarine.
4. Roll out dough into a 12 x 9 inch rectangle. Spread dough with margarine and sugar mixture. Sprinkle with raisins if desired. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 or more equal size rolls and place into a 9x13 baking pan. Cover and rise until doubled (at least 30 minutes - I did it overnight and it was phenomenal!).
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake for 20 minutes or until browned. Serve warm.

Buen Provecho!
