CRABTREE: It's the simple things...

My Latest Recipe

CINNAMON ROLLS

THE DOUGH

2 (.25oz) pkgs active dry yeast

2 1/2 cups warm water

1/2 pkg of yellow cake mix (9oz)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

5 cups flour

THE INSIDE GOODNESS

1/2 cup butter (melted)

3/4 cup white sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

THE FROSTING

(or BUY cream cheese frosting)

3 cup confectioner's sugar

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 Tbsp milk

DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it stand until creamy (about 10 minutes). Then combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix, salt, and vanilla; stir well. Stir in the flour, beat well. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Deflate dough and turn it out on a well floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle and spread with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (combine in bowl before hand to make it easy). Roll up dough (so you have a long tube) and cut into 3/4 inch thick rolls. Place on greased baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 45 min). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes. While rolls are cooling make frosting. Stir all ingredients together in a bowl. After the rolls have cooled a bit, spread with frosting and enjoy!
