Directions:
Directions:
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 c. warm water with 2 TB sugar. In a large bowl, make pudding mix according to package directions (usually with 2 c. milk) and let sit. Add margarine, eggs, and salt. Mix well. Then add yeast mixture and blend. Gradually add flour and knead until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and cover; let rise until double in size. Punch down and let rise again. Roll out on a floured board. Roll to 34" x 21". Take 1c. softened butter and spread over surface with a spatula. In a bowl, mix 4 tsp. cinnamon and 2 c. brown sugar together. Add nuts and/or raisins if desired. Sprinkle on top of rolled out dough. Roll tightly. Cut every 2 inches. Place rolls on a lightly greased pan 2" apart. Lightly press down each roll and let rise again. Bake in a 350º oven for 15 - 20 minutes. Frost while warm.

Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. powdered sugar
1 TB milk
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This dough is REALLY sticky. Really coat the surface well with flour while kneading so that it can be handled. Cooking 2" apart is good -- they raise a lot. Frosting recipe might be thin, add more powdered sugar if you want it thicker. Frost when the rolls have cooled slightly. Mom always used a piece of thread to cut the cinnamon rolls apart. She got this recipe later on and liked it because it stayed "fresh" longer.

We all love eating Mom's cinnamon rolls -- even if they had raisins in them that had to be picked out so that they were edible!
