Cinnamon Rolls or White Dinner Rolls

My mom made these all the time when I was growing up, and I carried on the tradition in our family.

Cinnamon Rolls Or White Dinner Rolls

I'm going to go through this recipe step by step.

1- take 2 yeast cakes (packages) add 2 t sugar add 2/3 c. water mix well (put in a good size bowl because it's going to raise up good)

2- while yeast is raising, start to heat 2 c milk, in large bowl put 1c. crisco shortening, 6 heaping T sugar, 2 t salt. Add scalded milk and beat until shortening is melted.

3-add 2 eggs; mix

4- add raised yeast; mix

5-add 3 c. flour; mix well, now let the dough rest a little while, you will see little bubbles appear.

6- add 2 c. flour; mix well, now the dough is still sticky so just add 1 more cup a little at a time until the dough is soft and nice, sometimes I add a little bit of cooking oil on my hands to knead. cover and let raise, should raise twice the size. Pour out on floured surface.

Roll out for cinnamon rolls rectangle shape.

Cover with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon. Roll up the dough carefully. Ok now it is in a long

snake, get your pans ready, (spray oil, butter, whatever on pans)

take a piece on string and slide under 1" dough pull up twist and cut through (cool huh)

fill your pans, cover and let raise again

cook at 350' for 20 minutes, you want them to be a nice brown, cool and frost. YUM,YUM
