Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons of butter
  • 3 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1 packet of activated yeast
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup brown raw sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup of butter
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • First - warm the milk and melt 4.5 tablespoon of butter in the milk - set aside.
  • In the mixing bowl mix together half the flour, all the yeast, all the white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix for about 1 minute. Add in the milk and butter and the egg. Mix well for about 3 minutes. Gradually add in the remaining flour and mix for 5 minutes.
  • Let the dough rest for about 7 minutes. Now...make the filling.
  • The filling - take the remaining butter - 3/4 of a cup, the brown sugar, and the ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  • Now, roll out the dough. Coat the dough evenly with the cinnamon mixture - I used my hands, since anything else I tried to use started to tear up the dough.
  • Roll and cut. Use a sharp or serrated knife, otherwise you'll squish the rolls. You could use floss, too - Pinterest, people, Pinterest.
  • Place the rolls into a well buttered 9x13 pan. Let stand for 25 minutes. Bake at 350 for 23-25 minutes.
  • Eat it all up...leave no evidence!
