Yum-o! *(Updated)

Okay I updated this post by adding the recipe at the bottom. Hope whoever tries it enjoys them as much as we do!

A recent Mike, Jamie and Vessel Christmas tradition. Homemade cinnamon rolls. Can it get any better than this?

Uh, yeah it can.

p.s. disregard the date on those pictures. My camera is obviously stuck in the past.


Recipe

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups milk, scalded (that means just before boiling)
4 Tblsp. butter 3 Tblsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 eggs, beaten
1 Tblsp. rounded yeast in 1/2 cup warm water (I think 'rounded' means just dissolved in water and let it foam up for 5-10 minutes)
4-5 cups flour

Melt butter in scalded milk. Let cool completely. Add eggs, sugar, salt and dissolved yeast. Mix in flour. Knead 6-8 minutes. Put dough in greased glass bowl and cover. Let raise 30 minutes in a warm place. Punch it down and roll out into large rectangle. Spread rolled dough with:

1/4 cup butter 1/2 tsp. cinnamon (I like to use more) 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 cup raisins (optional)

Using a pizza cutter, make several long strips and then roll them and shape them. Place rolls into grease pan, cover and let raise about 20 more minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.


Frosting:
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Beat ingredients and put on warm rolls.
Enjoy!!
