| 2-2 1/2 cups flour | 1/2 cup milk |
| 1/2 tsp. salt | 1/4 cup water |
| 2 Tbsp. sugar | 2 Tbsp. margarine |
| 1 pkg. or 1 Tbsp. yeast |
.
Mix 3/4 cup flour with sugar, yeast, and salt. Heat milk, water and margarine until very warm (120°-130°). Add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Add 1/4 cup flour. Beat 2 minutes on high. Stir in enough flour to make a stiff dough. Knead 2-3 minutes. Place in greased bowl and let rise 15 minutes. Divide dough into 12 pieces and shape into balls. Place in 8-inch round cake pan. Let rise 15 minutes. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes.
To make cinnamon rolls: Roll dough out after rising the first time and spread with 2 tablespoons margarine. Combine 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar and sprinkle on dough. Roll jelly-roll style and cut into 1 inch pieces. Place in pan and bake as usual.

Ice Cream Pie Recipe
years ago when my grandmother was still alive she would make cinnamon rolls. I can’t remember exactly but she would pour half & half or whipping cream over the top of the rolls before baking. Have you ever heard of doing this?
Kristy I don’t know if it is exactly the same thing but usually when I make any cinnamon roll recipe I mix 1/3 cup whipping cream, 1/3 cup butter, melted and 1 cup brown sugar and pour on the bottom of the pan before I place my cinnamon rolls in it to rise. This is usually enough for a 9×13 pan. This recipe is a little like a sticky buns but I like it better because sometimes sticky buns can be hard on the teeth because they really are sticky but this recipe gives you the same flavor but much softer and creamier and very caramel like.
Your grandmother may have already had some brown sugar and butter in the pan when she added the whipping cream.
I love the cinnamon rolls in the slow cooker. Time of making them was cut in half. This recipe was a blessing and so simple. It is very tasty.
This recipe is also great in the slow cooker.
