Cinnamon Rolls to die for!

[WoodWitch]

With all the Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls dropping from the heavens in Latte Land, I thought I would share a recipe for absolutely increadible cinnamon rolls my mom got from a fireman.  This is actually half the recipe, because he would cook them for the whole company...he cooked in big quantities!

Questions...concerns...full recipe....just drop me a message!

Big Cinnamon Rolls

• 1 1/4 Cup Lukewarm (120) Water
• 1 Box JIFFY Single Layer Yellow Cake Mix
• 1 1/2 eggs (6 Tbs = 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbs)
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1 pkg Yeast (1 Tbs)
• 1/2 Cup Flour
• 2 Tbs + 2 tsp Oil (8 tsp.)
• 2 1/2 Cups + 2 Tbs. Flour
• Additional Flour for kneading
  
• Melted Margarine, Cinnamon & Sugar

Dissolve yeast in water for three minutes.  Add Jiffy mix, 1/2 cup of flour, eggs, oil and salt.  Beat until bubbles appear (approximately 3 minutes)  Slowly add 2 1/2 cups and 2 tablespoons of flour.  Stir with spoon making soft dough. (sticky) Will have to add 3/4 cup of additional flour while kneading - Knead for 5 minutes. 

Place in a greased bowl, turn, cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking oil.  Let rise 1 hour.  Roll out to 1/4 inch thick.  Spread with melted margarine, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (to your liking).  Roll up jelly roll style and cut into 12 even slices.  Place in a greased  9 x 10 pan 1/2 inches apart.  Let rise another hour. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. 

Once completely cool, ice with a mixture of 1 cup powdered sugar and  a little milk.

Enjoy!

Hardest part of this is finding the Jiffy Cake Mix.  They are little boxes that look like Jiffy Cornbread Muffins, but they make one small single layer cake.  I actually found them at the store yesterday and bought all four boxes they had.  Stock photo...I don't have a camera to take a picture of mine!  I
