Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:
3 1/2 C flour
1/4 C sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 C butter softened room temperature
1 tablespoon shortening
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
3/4 C warm milk (40 sec in microwave)
2 tablespoons of dry yeast add 1/4 cup warm water (40-45 sec in microwave)to yeast and mix. Set yeast aside for 10-15 min until it starts to rise. Once the yeast has risen, add that to the dry ingredients, then add the milk, butter, shortening and eggs. Now go ahead and mix that all together. You will need to mix with your hands. Once you have it all mixed into a large dough ball, place back into a bowl with it covered with a towel and place into the oven (no heat) make sure the oven light is on to warm up the dough. Let it rise for 1.5 to 2 hours.
- [ ] While that is rising,make the filling. Add 3-4 tablespoon of softened butter to a new bowl. Add 1/4 C granulated sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, 1/4 C brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon and a splash of almond extract. Mix all that together and set aside. Once the dough is done rising, take it out and place on an oiled/floured counter top and start rolling out the dough. Once it’s rolled out, spread the filling mixture on top of the dough. Now, add a few small pieces of cut butter on top of the filling. Now start rolling up the dough on one side until it’s all rolled up. Next, use dental floss and place around the roll and cut through and make the rolls. Now place them all in a greased covered cake pan and let them rise in the oven again for 45-60 min. Once they are done rising, preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake them for 15-20 minutes. While baking, make the frosting. 1 C powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons vanilla extract, 16 oz room temp cream cheese and 1 tablespoon almond extract. Mix that all up with a hand mixer and set aside. Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, let them cook for 5 min and then frost them. After frosting, they are ready to enjoy! 😊

These cinnamon rolls were soooo good. With a cold glass of milk or my favorite, a strong cup of coffee. It’s a real hit.

Lovely recipe, especially for the holidays!
As a suggestion, maybe you can put timestamps in your description. I was trying to jump to find parts of your videos, and it would have been easier if there are the timings.
However, thank you for this recipe! Liked and subscribed!

Thank you for the suggestion. I’m new to this and I’ll have to research how to do that 😊
