Cinnamon Rolls

My friend Kirsty came to my house and showed me how to bake these fabulous cinnamon rolls. They are melt in your mouth delicious! She has it down so good it takes her only 1 hr and 20 min start to finish! Now that's my kind of baking...

Easy but Impressive Cinnamon Rolls....If I can do it, anyone can...

Ingredients:
Dough Recipe:
1 3/4 c warm water
1/2 c oil
1/3 c sugar
3 Tbsp yeast

mix and let rest for 15 min

add:
5-6 c flour
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp salt

Filling recipe:
1/3 c butter, softened
2-3 c powdered sugar
3 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

mix wet ingredients together, then fold in powdered sugar using a spatula. Keep stirring until smooth.

Directions:
Sprinkle flour over rolling surface to keep dough from sticking. Take 1/2 of the dough out of mixer and roll out 1/4 in flat. Spread softened butter evenly over top of dough. Sprinkle cinnamon evenly over entire surface. Follow with brown sugar, nuts or raisins. Roll up dough and seal by gently pinching along seam. Pat the roll to even it out. Use dental floss to cut the roll into evenly spaced slices, place on baking sheet that has been sprayed with Pam. Let raise for 5-10 min. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, until just browned on top. Remove from oven and immediately spread a generous dollop of frosting on each roll. Frosting will melt into the roll--the gooier, the better!
