Directions:DOUGH: In a small bowl mix together warm water, yeast and sugar and set aside. In a large bowl, mix milk, remaining 2/3 cup sugar, melted butter, salt and eggs; stir well and add yeast mixture. Add half the flour and beat until smooth. Stir in enough of remaining flour until dough is slightly stiff (dough will be sticky).
Turn out onto a well-floured board; knead 5-10 minutes. Place in well-buttered glass or plastic bowl, cover and let rise in warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. When doubled, punch down dough and let rest 5 minutes. Roll out on floured surface into 15 x 20 inch rectangle.
FILLING: Spread dough with 1/2 cup melted butter. Mix together 1 1/2 cups sugar & cinnamon; sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts & raisins, if desired.
Roll up jellyroll-fashion & pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices. Coat bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking pan & a 8 inch sq pan with remaining 1/2 cup melted butter, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in pans. Let rise in warm place until dough is doubled in bulk, about 45 min.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 25 to 30 min, or until rolls are nicely browned. Cool rolls slightly.
FROSTING: Allow margarine & cream cheese to reach room temp. Beat cream cheese & margarine together in bowl with mixer. Slowly add in all powdered sugar. Once all of sugar is in bowl, mix for at least add'l 12 min. When almost done, add in extracts. Enjoy!!! |
