Mom's Cinnamon Rolls

Mom's Cinnamon Rolls:



1 Tbsp yeast
1/2 c. warm water
1 tsp. sugar

Mix ingredients in a bowl and set aside

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
2 tsp. salt
2 cups hot water
6-7 cups flour

Use a mixer with dough hooks. In large mixing bowl, add suger, oil, salt and hot water. Mix. Add 3 cups flour mixing each one into the mixture. Add yeast mixture and the remainder of the flour. Mix well until dough forms a ball shape. This is all the kneading this recipe needs.

Let the dough rise and then stretch out into a rectangular oval shape. Butter one side of dough with softened butter (not melted!) Then, combine cinnamon, brown sugar and a little white sugar (just guess on the amount) Spread over butter on dough. Roll dough up and cut into small (about 1/2"-1") slices. Place slices on a cookie sheet, and let raise. Cook for 12 minutes or until golden brown at 350 degrees. Frost with frosting and enjoy!
