ingredients
-
Dough
- 3 tablespoons yeast
- 4 cups flour
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 2 eggs
-
Filling
- 1⁄3 cup butter, softened, for spreading on dough
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons cinnamon
-
Icing
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1⁄4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1⁄2 cups powdered sugar
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Heat milk and water, then add butter to melt.
- In another bowl, whip eggs until very fluffy, then gradually add the hot milk/water mixture to the eggs as you keep the mixer going. When blended, gradually add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Knead for 5 minutes. The dough texture will be very wet. Add VERY tiny amounts of flour if needed, no more than 1/2 cup. Kneading helps the texture to become more dry and elastic.
- Let rest til double in size.
- Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and 21"x16", or smaller and thicker for thicker cinnamon rolls.
- Spread softened butter over the dough. Sprinkle with filling mixture.
- Roll lengthwise to 21" roll. Cut in 1 3/4" slices, 6 to a baking sheet. Do not put these too close together, as they will spread.
- Bake 10 minutes or until light brown.
- As soon as you take them out of the oven, top with a spoonful of the icing mixture. Don't worry that the icing is super thick, it will melt and spread out.
- Icing- Cream butter and cream cheese together until well blended. Add vanilla and mix. Add salt, and gradually add powdered sugar until well incorporated.
