- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup margarine, melted
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- Filling:
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. cinnamon
- 1/3 cup margarine, softened
- Icing:

Preparation
Step 1
For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl.
Mix together the sugar, margarine, salt, and eggs. Stir in the milk and yeast solution, then add the flour and mix well.
Knead the dough into a large ball, using your hands dusted lightly with flour. Put in a bowl, over, and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough flat until it is approximately 21 inches long and 16 inches wide. It should be about 1/4 inch thick.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
For the filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread the softened margarine evenly over the surface of the dough, and then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar evenly over the surface.
Working carefully from the top (a 21-inch side), roll the dough down to the bottom edge.
Cut the rolled dough into 1 3/4-inch slices and place 6 at a time, evenly spaced, in a lightly greased baking pan. Let the rolls rise again until double in size (about 30 minutes). Bake for 10 minutes, or until light brown on top.
While the rolls bake, combine the icing ingredients. Beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy.
When the rolls come out of the oven, coat each generously with icing.
Note: These rolls can be frozen after baking. Just pop one into the microwave for 20-30 seconds to reheat.
