Cinnamon Rolls

Make Lion house dinner rolls dough. (see recipe that I posted before this one) You can divide dough up evenly to make the cinnamon rolls.

Roll out dough with rolling pin into rectangle shape.

Then melt butter (1/4 cup) and add brown sugar (1/3 cup). Mix together. spread on dough. Next roll the dough up, and cut with dental floss or thread. Put on greased pan and bake at 400 degrees for like 10 t0 15 minutes until golden brown.

Cool and frost with frosting or you can have them plain.

You can use the frosting recipes I posted with the banana sour cream bars (if you like add a little cream cheese to frosting.

Enjoy.

I like these because they are so yummy, easy to make and I remember mom making them for us, around Christmas and sometimes during the year.

Taught to me by mother- Rosie Johnson.

Lion House Dinner Rolls

2 tablespoons yeast

2 cups warm water

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup margarine or butter

2 teaspoons salt

2/3 cup nonfat dry milk

1 egg

5 to 6 cups all purpose flour

butter or margarine melted

In large bowl, mix yeast and water and let stand 5 minutes. Add sugar, shortening, salt, dry milk, egg, and 2 cups of the flour. Beat together until smooth. Gradually add remaining flour until soft dough is formed.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover and let rise until dough doubles in bulk. Punch down, divide into thirds. Roll out one third of dough into a circle, cut 12 pie shape pieces. Starting at the wide end roll up each piece into a crescent. Place on greased baking sheet with point on bottom. Repeat with remainder dough.

Then brush the tops of rolls with melted butter. Let it rise until double in size. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Serve warm with honey, jam- we like homemade raspberry jam, butter. Enjoy!

Makes 3 dozen rolls.
