Conference Cinnamon Rolls

By á-2277

A lady in Orem makes these for the Apostles every conference! Start the night before because the first part needs to refrigerate overnight then in the morning you make them into the rolls & put in dish to rise for about 2 hours. Baking is mere minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 pkg dry yeast
• 1/4 C warm water
• 2/3 C instant (dry) milk
• 1 3/4 C hot water
• 3/4 C melted butter or margarine
• add
• 1/2 C sugar
• 2 t salt
• (let mixture cool)
• 5 1/2 C flour (start with 2 then add the rest)
• 4 well beaten eggs
• Layer ingredients: (I double the recipe on this part ’cause I like goop)
• 1/2 C melted butter
• 2 T cinnamon
• 6 T sugar
• Frosting: (or sub cream cheese frosting, but this is the general conference version)
• 4 C powdered sugar
• 1/2 C soft butter
• 2 t vanilla & water

Preparation

Step 1

Put yeast in the 1/4 C warm water. Combine instant milk, the hot water and 3/4 C melted butter. Add sugar and salt; let mixture cool. Blend in 2 C flour then add yeast and eggs. Stir in rest of flour. Dough will be soft.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Turn 1/2 out on well floured surface (coat with flour to handle). Roll out into rectangle. Spread with the layer ingredients: first butter then sugar and finally cinnamon add raisins/nuts at this point if desired. Roll up and cut slices with clean dental floss (put floss underneath then criss-cross upwards to make a clean slice without squishing). Put in baking dish/pan.
Raise 1 1/2 – 2 hours.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes (watch that they don't burn).

Frost while warm.
