My Mom’s Cinnamon Rolls

2 pkg. dry yeast or (two tablespoons of bulk dry yeast)

½ cup of warm water

½ cup scalded & cooled milk

½ cup sugar

1 tsp. salt

2 eggs

½ cup butter

4 1/2 to 5 cups flour

Filling:

¼ cup organic cane sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

¼ cup butter

Dissolve yeast in warm water, stir in milk (cooled first), sugar, salt, beaten eggs, butter and 2-½ cups flour. Beat until smooth, add remaining flour to make it easy to handle. Turn dough out on to a kneading board and knead about five minutes. Place into an oiled bowl and let rise about 1-½ hours. Punch down; roll into a nice big rectangle. Melt ¼ cup of butter and sprinkle cinnamon/sugar (I always wing it here and probably add more than that) roll up and cut into cinnamon rolls. Let rise 30 minutes and bake @ 375 for 25-30 min.

* I also put a glaze on this batch of rolls, totally up to you.
