Ingredients
- 1 cup milk, scalded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 14 cup margarine, melted
- 2 12 teaspoons dry yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 7 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 34 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 -2 tablespoon evaporated milk
Method
- Let scalded milk cool until it is between 106 and 114 degrees fahrenheit.
- Combine 1 cup cooled milk, 1 teaspoons of the sugar, and 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast.
- Let stand 3 minutes.
- Stir and let stand 10 minutes more.
- Add remainder of sugar, margarine, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour.
- Beat to mix well.
- Beat in another 1/2 cup of flour.
- Add as much of the remaining cup of flour that you need, a little at a time.
- This must be kneaded in, as the dough is too heavy to stir.
- You might not require all of it.
- Add the flour and continue kneading until dough is smooth and elastic and doesn't stick to your hands.
- Put the ball of dough in a bowl that you have greased with a little margarine.
- Roll the dough ball around the bowl to grease it.
- Cover loosely with a tea towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place.
- This takes about 2 hours.
- When room temperature is below 80 fahrenheit, I put mine in the oven.
- I turn my oven on just a little and turn it off again a few seconds later when the air in the oven feels comfortably warm.
- When it has risen, put on a lightly floured board.
- Do not beat it down.
- With a floured rolling pin, roll into a rectangle approximately 1/4" thick and about 12 1/2 inches long.
- It can be a little longer but don't go below 12 inches-you don't want piddly little buns.
- I'm not sure of the width, but don't worry-if you have the correct thickness and length, it has to be right.
- With a pastry brush, brush entire surface of dough with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
- Sprinkle over the melted butter.
- Roll up at long end.
- Cut roll into 12 slices.
- Put in a greased 9" X 13" pan with a space between each one-they will expand.
- Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rise for approximately one hour.
- I like to tuck the tea towel under the pan so it doesn't lay in the butter.
- Remove tea towel.
- Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven.
- Combine topping ingredients, using only 1 tablespoons evaporated milk.
- Add remaining tablespoons of milk to make a glaze that can be drizzled.
- Drizzle the topping over the cinnamon rolls with a spoon.
- Remove from pan.
