Mom's Cinnamon Rolls ~ by Becky Crawford

Yes. Mom's infamous cinnamon rolls are indeed from someone else. And I couldn't do this right without giving credit where credit is due. This recipe has been made for decades in our family. It was in a church cookbook as well by a friend of my mom's, Becky Crawford. All I can say is "Thanks, Becky!!!"

CINNAMON ROLLS

2/3 cup powdered milk
2 cubes margarine
1 cup sugar
2 cups boiling water

Combine above ingredients.

Soften 3 tablespoons yeast in 1cup warm water

Mix:

6 beaten eggs
1Tbsp salt

Add yeast and 10 to 12 cups unsifted flour to make a soft dough. Knead dough enough so it can be handled. (Very soft dough) Cover and let rise until double, about 30 to 40 minutes. Put flour out and roll dough to rectangular shape, about ½ inch thick. Spread top with softened butter.

Mix:

¾ cup sugar
¼ cup cinnamon

Sprinkle on top. Sprinkle raisins and/or chopped walnuts on top if desired. Roll dough up tightly, starting on long end. Pinch ends. Cut cinnamon rolls with sewing thread. Cut 1 inch thick. Place on greased cookie sheet three across and 4 or 5 down. Let rise about 20 minutes. Bake at 350° for 15 to 20 minutes. Frost with butter frosting while warm.
