Preparation
Step 1
Put the 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup butter, evaporated milk, and yeast in a large stand mixer and let stand for 5 minutes. Then turn on mixer and mix these ingredients together. Add the eggs and, while mixing, slowly add the 4 cups flour and the salt. Continue adding flour until dough leaves the sides of the bowl. Continue kneading for 10 minutes and then place in a large, oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise until doubled.
On a floured surface, roll out dough and spread with 3/4 cup butter, 2-3 cups sugar, and lots of cinnamon. You can also spread on nuts or raisins.
Roll dough into a log and cut into 2 dozen rolls. Place cut side up on 2 greased jelly roll pans, cover with a towel, and let rise again.
Bake in a preheated 350° degree oven for 25 minutes.
