Welcome to my Kitchen!

As often as possible you will find new recipes, that I have found on the internet, from others and some that are family favorites. Most are easy and use common ingredients found in most kitchens. Not all pictures are taken by me, but I do add my own pictures as soon as I can after I have made the recipe and remember to take the picture. Pull up a chair, help yourself to some coffee and make yourself at home. Please leave a comment, I appreciate feedback. Thank you.

Frosted Cinnamon Rolls

 Cinnamon rolls

 *  1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
    * 1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
    * 1/2 cup sugar
    * 1/3 cup butter, melted
    * 2 eggs
    * 1 teaspoon salt
                                                        * 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
   

      FILLING:
    * 1/4 cup butter, melted
    * 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    * 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
    *

      CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
    * 1/2 cup butter, softened
    * 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
    * 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    * 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

    * In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the sugar, butter, eggs, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
    * Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
    * Punch the dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into an 11-in. x 8-in. rectangle; brush with butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from a long side; pinch seam to seal.
    * Cut each into eight slices. Place cut side down in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 1 hour.
    * Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pans on wire racks. In a small bowl, combine frosting ingredients until smooth. Frost rolls. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 16 rolls.
