Cinnamon Rolls

My husband was teaching youth in the mornings for a couple of years. Friday mornings he or myself would cook them up something delicious for breakfast. I can't remember where I found this recipe, but it was a hit! They were gone before one could wink.

Rolls:
1/2 c. warm water
2 T. melted butter
1 t. salt
2 pkgs dry yeast
3 1/2 oz. pkg vanilla pudding 2 eggs
6 c. flour

Filling:
1 c. butter softened
4 t. cinnamon
2 c. brown sugar

In large bowl combine water, yeast and sugar. Stir until dissolved. Set aside.

In separate bowl large bowl prepare pudding according to package directions. Add butter, eggs and salt and mix well.

Add yeast mix and blend.

Gradually add flour; knead until smooth. place in grease bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled. Punch down and raise again.

Roll out flour on board to 35"x 21". Take 1 c. soft butter and spread over surface.

In bowl mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over top. Roll up very tightly.

With knife, notch every 2"  cut with thread

Place in lightly grease pan 2" apart. Lightly press down with palm of hand on each roll. Cover and rise to double.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 min. Remove when they begin to turn golden brown. Do not over bake.

Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese
1 t. vanilla
1 T. milk

Mix all ingredients until smooth. Spread over cinnamon rolls after removed from oven, it will help them stay moist, and the frosting will milt into the roll making each bite mouth watering.
