    cup milk
  • 2/3
    cup water
  • 1/2
    cup sugar
  • 1/2
    cup cooking oil
  • 1/2

    recipe Cream Cheese Icing (see recipe below)
Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour and yeast. In small saucepan, combine milk, water, the 1/2 cup sugar, oil, and salt. Heat; stir over medium heat till just warm (120 degree F to 130 degree F).

2. Add milk mixture and egg yolks to dry mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl often. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.

4. Roll out dough to form a 14x12-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter or margarine. Sprinkle with a mixture of 1/3 cup sugar and cinnamon.

5. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting from long side. Seal seam. Slice into 12 pieces. Place in greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Cover; let rise in warm place till nearly doubled (20 minutes).

6. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 20 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly; remove from pan. Frost warm rolls with Cream Cheese Icing. Serve rolls warm or cool on a wire rack. Makes 12 rolls.

I made this recipe for Valentine's Day breakfast. I absolutely loved the cinnamon rolls and the recipe was VERY easy to follow. I did have one small problem. It took them about 40-50 minutes to rise, rather than the 20 minutes that the recipe calls for. I was just wondering if anyone would know why? I had a thermometer in my pan when I heated the milk mixture and brought it to the recommended temperature...
