When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast (or instant yeast)
1 cup milk (lukewarm)
½ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3 tablespoon cinnamon
⅓ cup butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
6 tablespoon butter (unsalted, softened, or margarine)
1 ½ cups powdered sugar (also known as icing sugar, or confectioner's sugar)
¼ cup cream cheese (at room temperature)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a tsp of sugar (you can take a tsp out of the 1/2 cup of sugar) in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. If the yeast is good, it will start to froth up.
  • To the bowl of your mixer add the sugar, butter or margarine, salt, eggs, and flour and mix until well incorporated.
  • Pour the milk/yeast mixture over the flour mixture and using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated and the dough comes clean from the side of the bowl.
  • Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approximately 16 inches long by 12 inches wide. It should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.
  • Spread the 1/3 cup of butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.
  • Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
  • Cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan. You can also use floss to cut into slices, as seen in the video. Place the cut rolls in the prepared pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking time can vary greatly!
  • While the rolls are baking make the icing by mixing all the icing ingredients and beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth.
  • When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing.
