breakfast rolls (aka cinnamon rolls)
I obtained this recipe from a lady I sold life insurance to years ago and have been using it ever since! It is kinda cheating using the yellow cake mix but the results are much the same and it has very little kneading! I think that it is great to be able to put in refridgerator overnight and freshly baked in the morning in time for breakfast! I hope you all enjoy it!

How To Make breakfast rolls (aka cinnamon rolls)
-
Step 1Mix together yellow cake mix, salt, 2 pkgs. active dry yeast.
-
Step 2Add 2 1/2 cups of warm water. Mix well.
-
Step 3Then add flour. Mix well till ball forms.
-
Step 4Let sit for one hour. Then turn out on floured surface and add 1/2 to 1 cup more flour till smooth.
-
Step 5Roll out dough into one large rectangle, about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick.
-
Step 6Spread softened butter over dough. Then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. You can also add chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.
-
Step 7Roll up. Cut with thread, I use sewing thread. If you use a knife the dough will not rise correctly. I cut about 1 1/2 - 2 inches wide.
-
Step 8Place on greased pans, cut side up. I usually use disposible pans since I give most of them away!
-
Step 9If you use 8x8 in pans, I put 4 (four) rolls in each pan. I also use the smaller space in the middle for a smaller roll.
-
Step 10Let rise another 2 hours or cover and refridgerate over night.
-
Step 11Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 - 20 minutes.
-
Step 12Cool and frost as desired. See Carmel frosting recipe.
