Directions:
Dough:
Heat milk in a saucepan on medium until it bubbles. Remove from heat. Add butter and water. Cool until lukewarm. In the mixing bowl for a standing electric mixer, whisk together 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add milk mixture and egg. Beat well. Stir in the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough is just combined. The dough will be thick and sticky. Change to the dough hook attachment and knead on low speed for about 8 minutes. Allow to rest in the bowl for 10 minutes.

Filling:
Place butter in a glass container with a lid, and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Butter will turn brown. Allow to cool to lukewarm. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and brown sugar.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out a 12 x 9 rectangle, using a 13 x 9 baking dish as a guide. Spread butter liberally on dough, and cover dough with sugar cinnamon mixture. Roll the long edge of dough into a 12 inch cylinder, and pinch edge to secure. Cut one inch slices with a serated knife and place into a 13 x 9 baking dish sprayed with Baking Pam. Place in a 170º oven to rise until the rolls touch each other and double in size. Remove from oven and preheat oven to 375º. Bake for 17 minutes.

Frosting:
Whip together softened butter, cream cheese, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar until soft and creamy. Spread frosting over rolls and serve warm.

Personal Notes:
Gary says these are the best cinnamon rolls he has ever tasted. I baked them for Sunday brunch when Rachael was home for spring break during her senior year at Alabama. Robert was sailing in the Bahamas during his sophomore year at Tennessee.
