sunday treat

This morning when I looked outside I saw snow...lots of snow.  Now, it's almost March and I'm the first one to complain about how much I am TOTALLY over the cold/snow.  

But this morning, it was just too beautiful.  I instantly thought of hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls.  I talked about the idea to James all during church.  When we got home, I decided I just HAD to make cinnamon rolls. 

I used my friend Jashley's recipe and then this recipe for the cream cheese frosting.  James and I each ate about 4-5.  Freaking delicious!  Please make them :)

Delicious Cinnamon Rolls (it made a dozen)
1 T. yeast

1/4 cup of warm water

1 beaten egg

1/4 c. oil

1/4 c. sugar

1 tsp. salt

3/4 c. scalded milk

3 c. flour

1/4 c. butter

1/2 c. brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Pour yeast into warm water and let sit for 10 minutes.  Warm milk in a saucepan (do not boil!)  Remove milk from heat and stir in sugar. When milk/sugar has cooled pour into a large bowl.  Add beaten egg, oil, salt, yeast, and then flour.  Mix together.  Knead well.  Cover and let rise for 1 1/2 hours (or until doubled)

Punch down dough.  Roll out into large rectangle.  Melt  butter and pour onto the dough - spread it evenly.  Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.  Roll dough into a "tight log".  Slice with string or dental floss.  Place onto a greased cookie sheet.  Let rise another 1 1/2 hours. (doubled)  Bake at 350 for 15 -18 minutes. 

Pull out, add frosting...ENJOY!
