Cinnamon Rolls

This recipe I tried from http://www.recipezaar.com. You can get the recipe from here and this one come out very well. Here is the recipe reproduced.



Ingredients:


1 cup milk, scalded
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour


Filling
2 tablespoons butter, melted
7 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping
1 cup icing sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoon evaporated milk


Method:



Let scalded milk cool until it is between 106 and 114 degrees fahrenheit. Combine 1 cup cooled milk, 1 teaspoons of the sugar, and 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast. Let stand 3 minutes. Stir and let stand 10 minutes more. Add remainder of sugar, margarine, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Beat to mix well. Beat in another 1/2 cup of flour. Add as much of the remaining cup of flour that you need, a little at a time. This must be kneaded in, as the dough is too heavy to stir. You might not require all of it. Add the flour and continue kneading until dough is smooth and elastic and doesn't stick to your hands. Put the ball of dough in a bowl that you have greased with a little margarine. Roll the dough ball around the bowl to grease it. Cover loosely with a tea towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place. This takes about 2 hours.


When it has risen, put on a lightly floured board. Do not beat it down. With a floured rolling pin, roll into a rectangle approximately 1/4" thick and about 12 1/2 inches long. It can be a little longer but don't go below 12 inches-you don't want piddly little buns. With a pastry brush, brush entire surface of dough with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Sprinkle over the melted butter. Roll up at long end. Cut roll into 12 slices. Put in a greased 9" X 13" pan with a space between each one-they will expand. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for approximately one hour. Remove tea towel. Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.


Combine topping ingredients, using only 1 tablespoons evaporated milk. Add remaining tablespoons of milk to make a glaze that can be drizzled. Drizzle the topping over the cinnamon rolls with a spoon. Remove from pan
