Sat, 2005-11-26 10:36 — Eric

This is Rosemary's recipe for cinnamon sweet rolls.  It is highly recommended that you use an insulated, Air-Bake style pan to avoid burning the rolls.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter-flavored shortening, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar (for yeast)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 package rapid-rise yeast
  • 2 3/4 cups flour

Directions

Dissolve yeast in warm water with the 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar.  Melt shortening and add sugar, salt, milk, and egg.  Bring mixture to 110°F.  Add sugar & yeast mixture to the shortening mixture.  Stir in flour.  Cover with damp cloth and let stand 10 minutes.  Turn onto heavily floured suface, flour the top, and knead lightly.  Place in greased bowl and let rise until double in bulk.  Pour onto heavily floured surface and roll out to 1/2-inch thickness or slightly thinner.  Generously apply melted margerine.  Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar heavily.  Nuts may be added if desired.  Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.  Ice with frosting (below).
