"Conference" Cinnamon Rolls

Original Source: http://www.71toes.com/2012/04/conference-cinnamon-rolls.html

2 cubes of butter (1 cup)
2 c. milk
1/2 c. tap-hot water
2 heaping tbs. yeast
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
7 c. flour
1 egg, beaten
brown sugar (for sprinkling on the dough before rolling...I use between 1/4 and a 1/2 cup)
cinnamon (about 2 tsp.)

Dissolve yeast and the warm water, set aside. Melt butter in microwave. Warm milk in microwave. Combine butter and milk. Add the yeast to the milk mixture until well mixed. Add the beaten egg.

Slowly add the remaining ingredients and mix until dough separates from the bowl. Knead the dough for two minutes on low speed.

Let the dough rise (45 min-1 hour).

Roll out into two rectangles. Butter dough and sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins (optional...I don't do raisins).
Roll up and slice through with dental floss (works so great, just put it around the outside of the roll, cross it over on top and pull it tight).

Place on cookie sheet with a little room for growth in the oven.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes (nope, you don't even have to have them rise again).

 

Frost with butter-cream frosting:

 1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 c. powdered sugar
3-4 tbs. half and half (I just use milk)


Cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Slowly add half and half (or milk), while beating until you get a smooth, spreadable consistency.
