Directions:1. For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk in a large bowl. 2. Mix together the sugar, margarine, salt, and eggs. Stir in the milk and yeast solution, then add the flour and mix well. 3. Knead the dough for 10 minutes, using your hands dusted lightly with flour. Put the dough in a bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size. 4. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough flat until it is approximately 21 inches long and 16 inches wide. It should be about 1/4-inch thick. 5. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. 6. For the filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread the softened margarine evenly over the surface of the dough, and then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar evenly over the top of the margarine. 7. Working carefully from the top (a 21-inch side), roll the dough down to the bottom edge. 8. Cut the rolled dough into 1 3/4-inch slices and place 6 at a time, evenly spaced, in a lightly greased 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan. Let the rolls rise again until double in size (about 30 minutes). Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown on top. 9. While the rolls bake, make the icing by mixing the margarine and cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, then add the milk and flavorings. Mix on high speed again until the icing is smooth and fluffy. 10. When the rolls come out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes, then coat them generously with icing.
Tidbits: These rolls can be frozen after baking. To reheat, zap one at a time in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds |
