Cinnamon Roll Recipe (courtesy of Sarah Lynn):
one 1/4 oz pkg active dry yeast
1 c warm milk
1/2 c sugar
1/3 c butter - melted
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
4 c flour
Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add sugar, butter, salt, eggs, and flour; mix well. Knead dough. Cover and let rise about 1 hour. Roll dough on floured surface to 21 inches long and 16 inches wide (about 1/4 inch thick). Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
1 c packed brown sugar
1 1/2 T cinnamon
1/3 c butter, softened (and no, I can never quite bring myself to use this much butter)
Mix sugar and cinnamon. Spread butter on dough. Sprinkle sugar mix over butter. Roll lightly with rolling pin to flatten. (Or plastic cup, if you have no rolling pin like me!)
Roll dough. Cut into 1 3/4 inch slices and place 6 at a time on a lightly greased baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes (at 12 mine were still a little doughy).
8 T butter, softened
1/2 c powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 c cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
While rolls bake , combine all ingredients. Beat until fluffy. Coat rolls generously while hot. Makes 12 rolls.
Once again, I made no pretense of this being a healthy recipe. So... enjoy!

I cannot believe you posted this. I made cinnamon rolls tonight for my young women's president. Her birthday is tomorrow. I was just silently lamenting that I don't have a good frosting recipe. You saved the day! To the fridge to check for cream cheese...
Can someone who is seriously yeast impaired make these work???
Honestly, I never seem to think the dough has risen. But the rolls still taste good and there is still enough dough.... so I figure it's fine!
Also the cinnimon roll recipe I use... given to me by Sarah Lynn's mom. I make my (yeast impaired) life easier by making to dough in the bread machine. I figure that way I can blame it on the machine if something goes wrong. =)
By the way, when will thing 3 gracing us?
Yipee! Was that MY request you were talking about?
