This recipe I got from my grandma and it was her moms. We found out about a year ago she has alzhiemers. She always made these for every holiday and every year at the family reunion. This year she could not make them because she couldn't remember how. I am so thankful that I took the time for her to teach me how to make these. In fact my sister told me that I was going to have to take care of making them now! That and her homemade beef and noodles. The recipe has changed over the years my grandma started using margarine instead of lard. My mom also turned this recipe into cinnamon I will tell you how also

    Ok for cinnamon rolls you due just as you would for the hot rolls. But instead of making into rolls you roll out the dough onto a floured surface. Put some melted margarine on top of the dough. Then sprinkle dough with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and cut into 2 inch rolls. Place in greased pan and let rise. Then bake at 350 degrees until done. Glaze is powdered sugar and milk. Sometimes i use margarine powdered sugar and milk. Gives the glaze more flavor!
