Recipes from Sheryl Hancock and Rena Reheis. We make these for Christmas now.
3 T. yeast
1/2 C. sugar
3 C. warm water
1 T. salt
1/2 C. powdered milk
3. T. melted shortening
7-8 c. flour
Mix yeast mixture and let dissolve, the mix everything. (Note from Sheryl: I've noticed that when I've added the powdered milk with the flour...it doesn't mix well and I get clumps of dry powdered milk in the rolls. Therefor I take one or two cups of the '3 C. of water' and mix the powdered milk in the blender and save the remaining water to mix with the yeast.)
Let it rise for 1 hour. Knead for a couple of minutes. Roll out. Brush with butter then sprinkle with mixed cinnamon and sugar. (You can add brown sugar, nuts, raisins if you want.) Roll up and cut. let rise again and then bake for 15-25 minutes at 350 degress. Apply butter frosting when still a little warm
Frosting:
1/2 C. of butter melted
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/4-1/3 C. milk
3 C. powdered sugar
