Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 loaves of frozen bread dough
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) real butter, room temperature
• cinnamon
• sugar
• brown sugar
• 1 stick of softened butter (real butter)
• 1/2 to 3/4 bag of powdered sugar
• milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. 1Thaw bread dough in a greased and sealed bowl until double size.
2. 2Roll out on a well-floured counter to 1/2 inch thick.
3. 3Spread butter, sprinkle with cinnamon to cover the dough, and then cover with brown sugar. This should be a heavy coating of brown sugar.
4. 4Roll into a log and cut into 1/2 inch slices.
5. 5Place in a greased pan. Take slices and lay on their sides so that you can see the layers.
6. 6Space about 1/2 inch apart. Cover with greased foil or a damp towel until the dough rises again.
7. 7Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until done.
8. 8Frost as they are removed from the oven.
9. 9For frosting: Stir butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until thick. Add a little milk at a time to make the frosting smooth.
10. 10Continue to add powdered sugar and milk to make about 2 cups or more of frosting. Frosting should be the consistency of pancake batter or a little thicker.
11. 11I do this by hand, not with a mixer. Can be made ahead of time.
