Iced Cinnamon Rolls



OH BOY OH BOY! Big SOFT CINNAMONNY bites of pure delight! These will not last long! They will be gobbled up right before your eyes! It is a good thing they are EASY & FUN to make!                                                                                


DOUGH:
1 Cup Milk warm
1/3 Cup Melted Butter
4 & 1/2 Cup Flour
2 Eggs 
1 TSP Salt
1 TSP Vanilla
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Packet Yeast

Warm milk, beat eggs & melt butter. Beat together with the vanilla & then add yeast & beat again. In a large bowl stir together, flour,sugar & salt blend well. Add liquid mixture all at once to the dry & stir well, kneading it together at the end. Cover bowl & let rise until double. Once double dump out on a large floured surface & roll out to a 10x15 rectangle. Let rest 10 minutes . Mix up your filling while dough rest.
                                                                              

FILLING:

1 & 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
Dash of Salt
3 TBS Cinnamon
1 TSP Vanilla
1/2 Cup Melted Butter
Blend all ingredients together. Spread evenly over resting dough. Now roll dough up as for a jelly roll. Slice into evenly divided slices about 10 LARGE rolls. Place cut side down on a lightly sprayed baking pan 9x13 to 10 x15 in size. Cover & let rise until double about 30 minutes or so. Once double bake 15 minutes or so, in a preheated 400 degree oven. Remove & let cool down until still warm. Spread with the following frosting while rolls are
 warm.

                                                                                   

                                                                               

FROSTING:
1 Stick Softened Butter
5 Cups Powdered Sugar
Dash of Salt
2 TSP Vanilla
Milk enough to make frosting spreadable
Beat butter with 1/2 of the sugar all of the butter, salt & vanilla. Add just enough milk to make soft. Now add the rest of the sugar & more milk if needed. Do not make to soft as this will melt slightly on the warm rolls. Serve warm or cool either way they are TERRIFIC!
VARIATION ON FROSTING:
Substitute 1 Stick of butter with  8, oz. Softened Cream cheese & 4 TBS of Softened butter for cream cheese frosting! I prefer butter cream but use what you LOVE!
