Cinnamon Rolls by Melanie

-2 1/2 cups warm water
-2 tbsp. granulated yeast or 2 packs yeast
-2 beaten eggs
-3/4 cup sugar
-3/4 cup oil
-2 tsp. salt
-8 1/2 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Combine rest of ingredients and 2 cups of flour. Beat well, then add remaining flour. Knead 8 to 10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll out. Spread with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. (Make a long roll.) Slice 1 inch thick. Let rise until double. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until light brown. Cool and top with powdered sugar icing.

Directions for freezer group:

Thaw rolls completely. Put in microwave or oven just long enough to warm. If desired, put your favorite icing on top. I usually use "creamy butter frosting."

Creamy butter frosting
-6 tbsp. margarine, softened
-1 lb. powdered sugar
-1/4 cup milk
-1 and 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Cream margarine, gradually adding about half the sugar. Blend well. Beat in half the milk and the vanilla. Blend in remaining sugar gradually. Add just enough of the remaining milk to make frosting easy to spread. It should be fairly stiff.
