Mamaw’s Cinnamon Rolls
Mamaw’s Delicious Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
Mix and heat in a small saucepan:
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
Mix together in a large bowl:
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon yeast
Instructions
- Heat the milk mixture until skin forms on milk or just before it boils. Then cool till lukewarm.
- Add the lukewarm milk mixture to the bowl with water and yeast. Add an egg and about 6 cups of flour. Mix and knead to make a soft, elastic dough. Cover and let rise till double about an hour.
- Punch down dough and grease bottom and sides of bowl. Cover and let rise again till double, about an hour.
- Roll dough out on floured surface in a rectangle shape. Spread one stick of soft butter on it. Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar evenly on it. Roll up lengthwise and cut about one inch thick. I use a thread to cut the slices but you could use a knife. Place in greased pans. Cover and let rise till double or until oven is preheated.
- Bake in 400 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool and then ice.
