Recipe for Sweet Rolls

Here ya go ladies, the recipe. Now I will climb back into bed as the bug has returned with vengeance. Guess I should have stuck with chicken noodle soup yesterday and left the cinnamon roll alone !



BASIC SWEET ROLLS RECIPE

4 - 4 1/2 cups flour
1 pkg (1 Tablespoon active dry yeast)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
1 Teaspoon salt
2 eggs

In large bowl combine 2 cups of the flour with the yeast. Heat milk, sugar, butter and salt just till warm (115-120 degrees F) stir constantly, ( I never do that ) Add to flour mixture, add eggs, beat at low speed with electric mixer for 1/2 minute. I mix with a spoon. Beat for 3 minutes at high speed, again I mix with a spoon, makes a good workout.
Stir in as much remaining flour as you can. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. 6 - 8 minutes total.
Shape into a ball, put in greased bowl, turning once. Cover and let rise in a warm draft free place until it is double in size, about 1 hour. Punch down, let rest 10 minutes. Roll out dough.
For Creamy cinnamon rolls melt 3 Tablespoons of butter, brush over dough. Combine 2/3 cups packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle over the the dough.
That's what the recipe says anyway. I just sprinkle on some cocoa, it just gives it a nice little added flavor, not a chocolate taste at all. Then sprinkle on the brown sugar till it looks good, then I sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar till it looks good and smells plenty cinnamony. You can add nuts or raisins if you want to.
Roll up the dough, slice with a knife. Make sure you sealed up your seams real good. Place in a greased pan. Cover and let rise till nearly double ( about 30 minutes) Now here is the good part. Pour a total of 3/4 cup of heavy cream over the pan. Bake in 375 degree F oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
After they are cool you can frost with Icing made of powdered sugar, about 1 cup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and enough milk to make it drizzling consistency.
Then enjoy !

If you want to make Caramel Pecan Rolls,

place cut rolls atop a pan filled with brown sugar mixture. In a saucepan combine 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 2 tablespoons light corn syrup. Cook and stir until blended. After pouring the brown sugar mixture in the pan, sprinkle pan with 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Bake the same as for the cinnamon rolls. Invert onto serving dish

Patty: I made these tonight and they are so good! Nothing leaked out, they are PERFECT! Well, almost . . yours are all uniform and neat. Some of mine (the tails on the roll) are kinda small and some are kinda fat but they sure do taste good!

Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.
