Cinnamon Rolls


First day of the fall semester rolls around and to give myself a little incentive to get out of bed I made cinnamon rolls. This is the recipe I found online, but can't seem to find again.

Ingredients

3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine, softened
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup raisins (optional)


Directions:

1) Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in margarine; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
2 )In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
3) Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes. While you wait, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, softened margarine.
4) Roll out dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle. Spread dough with margarine/sugar mixture. Sprinkle with raisins if desired. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal size rolls.
5) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake in the oven 20 minutes, or until browned.Let them cool. Serve warm

You can put the cinnamon rolls into muffin cups so they stay small, however I put them on the pan as they were and they became huge delicious cinnamon rolls.

For the icing I used the cream cheese frosting recipe, which was amazing. After they were done I put the rest of them in the refrigerator. These were super delicious <3
