Cinnamon Rolls




These delicious cinnamon rolls are not too difficult to make, and are mouth watering! My family loves them. My husband is in sales, and he often pays me to make these for his accounts. Home-baked beats store bought every time!

Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:
1 cup warm water (about 115 degrees)
2 Tbs. margarine or butter, softened
1 egg
3 1/3 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. regular active dry yeast

Filling:
1/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbs. margarine or butter, softened

Glaze:
Mix 1 c. powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1 to 2 Tbs. milk until smooth and thin enough to drizzle.


Directions:
Place yeast in the warm water. Let bud. Cream egg, butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add water/yeast mixture. Stir well. Sift together dry ingredients. Slowly add to wet mixture. Mix well. Knead dough for about 8 minutes. Spray bowl with non-stick spray. Place dough in bowl, cover and let rise about 30 minutes. Roll dough into 18 x 12 inch rectangle on lightly floured surface.

How do you alter the glaze to make it a maple syrup glaze? I'm intrigued.
