CAKE MIX CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix and 3 cups of the flour; stir to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 10x16 inch rectangle. spread the softened butter over the rectangle; sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon. Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the rectangle and cut into 1-inch wide rolls.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Pour the melted butter into a small bowl. Mix the white sugar and pecans in another small bowl. Dip the top of each roll in the melted butter, then in the sugar and pecan mixture, then place the topped rolls snugly into the prepared pan. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until rolls are golden.

CAKE MIX CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, dry cake mix, yeast and warm water until smooth.
• Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes (I did this step with my Kitchen Aid Mixer).
• Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.
• Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Punch dough down.
• Divide dough in half and let rest covered 10 minutes.
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
• Roll each portion into a 14 X 10 rectangle.
• Brush with butter; sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar (I prefer brown sugar myself, so I used about 3/4 cup brown sugar with a teaspoon and half of cinnamon).
• Roll up jellyroll style, starting with long side.
• Cut each roll into 12 slices; place cut side down in two greased 13 X 9 baking pans (At this point I just kind of flatten them a bit with my hand so the middles don't raise up).
• Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 20 minutes (this is where I put them in the frig over night).
• Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Cool for 20 minutes.
• *For frosting, in a mixing bowl, cream butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Add enough milk to achieve desired consistency.
• *I prefer a cream cheese frosting on cinnamon rolls so I changed that as well, but this works out just great.

GRANDMOM'S CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Prepare dough: Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just about to boil, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sugar, shortening, and salt; remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm, about 10 minutes.
• While the milk mixture is cooling, sprinkle yeast over water and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Pour lukewarm milk mixture into a bowl; add 1 cup flour and beat well. Beat in yeast mixture and egg. Gradually beat in remaining 2 1/2 cups flour. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Test by pressing a finger into the dough; a fingerprint should stay.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch square baking pans.
• Prepare filling: Mix sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and divide in half. Roll one piece into a 16x8-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the filling over top. Start at the long edge of the rectangle and roll up as for a jelly roll. Cut into eight 1-inch slices and place cut-sides down into one prepared baking pan. Repeat with remaining rectangle.
• Bake in the oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare frosting by mixing confectioners' sugar and water together in a bowl.
• Remove rolls from the oven. Transfer to a large serving plate and spread frosting over top.
