- Add cream or milk to thin as much as you like.

- Roll into a 17-in. x 15-in. rectangle.
- Spread butter to within 1/2 in. of edges.

GRANDMA'S FAMOUS CINNAMON ROLLS
Steps:
- In medium bowl add milk, water and shortening. Heat in the microwave or on stove until warm (I usually go about 2 minutes, 30 seconds but each microwave is different and you don't want it hot enough to kill the yeast, just very warm). In the bowl of your Kitchen Aid mixer or large mixing bowl (if stirring by hand), combine yeast, sugar, 3 cups of flour and salt. Add warm liquid mix to this dry mixture and combine until smooth. Allow this to sit for 5 minutes (covered with a clean dish towel) to allow yeast to activate. You should see a few bubbles after 5 minutes. Add in remaining 4 cups of flour and mix well. You want the dough to be smooth and elastic as this will develop the gluten. I usually add a dough hook attachment for the last cup of four so it can do a bit of kneading/stretching for me. After all flour is added, allow the mixer to stretch the dough for 5-7 minutes and make sure that everything is incorporated smoothly.Pour dough into a large pre-greased bowl (I just spray it with non-stick spray or use shortening). Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour. Dough should double in size. Sprinkle counter top with flour and dump out risen dough. Sprinkle the top of the dough with flour and very lightly (without mashing the dough down and allowing it to keep its bubbly structure), gently roll into a rectangular shape approximately 16x20)Spread room temperature butter over your rectangle (make sure the butter is not melted!). Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top. Tightly roll the dough up (starting with the long side and rolling away from you) and form into a roughly 19" long roll. You can pat the roll and shape it slightly so its even from end to end. Use dental floss to slide under the roll and bring the strings up and around to make a slice. This works much better than a knife so you don't smash the dough. Cut the roll into 12 even slices (I always cut in half and then into fourths so I can cut each section into 3 rolls to help with even cutting). Spray sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with a flour sack towel and allow to rise 30 minutes.Preheat your oven to 350 F and bake for 25-30 or until rolls are golden brown.Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow rolls to cool for 10-15 minutes before frosting.

This is from a clipping from a magazine dated 1997 I mix the dough in the bread machine on the dough cycle. And then shape, rise and bake in the oven. The rolls are tender and I like the oatmeal. I finished them off with some icing I had left over from a spanich bar cake that I made a few days before. This is a good recipe if you are home getting ready for overnight guests, the bread machine does a lot of the work, and your guests think you spent hours making these. (the prep time doesn't include the time in the bread machine)

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.

- 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.

These rolls stay very moist due to the sour cream. It is also a good way to use up that last cup of sour cream.

BEST CINNAMON ROLLS
When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

GRAMMA'S OLD-FASHIONED CINNAMON SWEET ROLLS
Light, flakey dough surrounds the brown sugar-cinnamon-butter filling (with optional raisins or nuts); two perfect pans of exquisite breakfast fare. Serve with some pork links, glass of juice or milk, and you've got a down-home breakfast. My German gramma made these EVERY time our family visited...and she cooked 'em in her wood-burning cook-stove, too. Our 4-H club makes these for a concession stand fund-raiser and we sell-out EVERY year! Don't be put-off by the LENGTHY set of directions---they're written for the uninitiated (non-bread-makers) among us. I really WANT you to have fun making these, so I told you EVERYTHING you'll EVER want to know in how-to-make sweet rolls.

Steps:
- In a liquid measuring cup, heat milk/water to "wrist-warm" (do NOT boil; just warm).
- Add yeast and 2 tablespoons of the sugar (you'll use the rest in the next step). Stir the yeast and sugar; let this "work" for about 5 or 10 minutes. You should have some bubbly, frothy stuff in the cup when you return. (If not--your yeast is no good, dump it out and get better yeast.).
- Pour yeast-milk into mixing bowl, and add remaining sugar, butter, eggs, salt and 1 cup of the flour. Using beater, mix this mess for about a minute.
- Switch to the paddle (flat beater) or a dough hook, and add remaining flour one cup-at-a-time. The dough will form a ball, and feel slightly sticky. You may not need the entire 5 1/2 cups (depends on humidity, too).
- Fill medium glass bowl with hottest tap water. If your oven can be adjusted to 100 degrees, set it to 100 degrees. Also, if your oven has a light, turn it on; place the hot water on the bottom of the oven. Close the door.
- Grease a large, glass bowl. Remove dough from mixing bowl to a floured table/counter-top; knead for 1 minute; form into a ball and place in greased bowl, turning to get grease on all sides. Cover bowl loosely with a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Turn off 100 degree oven, place bowl of dough into oven; close the door. Set the timer for 1 hour.
- Clean up the mess BUT leave floured counter-top AS IS.
- At the end of one hour the dough should've risen to about double the size. If not, let it go for another 15 minutes (set the timer--it's easy to forget---out of sight, out of mind!).
- Gather filling ingredients: 1/4 cup of melted butter; cinnamon; brown sugar; raisins and/or chopped nuts (optional).
- Punch down the down; remove from bowl; with a large butcher knife, cut dough into two equal parts. Set one aside (cover with plastic wrap).
- Grease two 13x9-inch pans with BUTTER (no substitutes are allowed -- this is GRAMMA's recipe). :-) humor me, okay?.
- On floured counter-top, lay dough and with a rolling pin, shape & roll into large rectangle, oh about 8 x 16 inches or a bit larger, keep thickness consistent throughout.
- Pour HALF of the melted butter over this, and spread with a pastry brush, right out to the edges. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon (like 1-2 tablespoons), then a handful of brown sugar, spreading it evenly with fingers; right to the edges!
- Sprinkle some raisins and chopped nuts -- if using. Keep these closer to the long side closest to you.
- HERE's THE HARD PART: Starting at the side closest to you, LOOSELY roll away from you. Loosely is the KEY word. Tuck in any runaway raisins or nuts.
- Use that big knife to divide the roll in half in the middle. Then cut each half into SIX equal portions, for a total of 12 rolls.
- Starting in the middle of the roll (nicest shaped rolls) and working to the sloppy outside roll piecs, set them along the outside edges of the buttered pan, spacing evenly in the pan. Put the two end rolls in the very center of the pan. Set the cut side DOWN (so the top looks flat-ish). Set this pan on the stove for now.
- Repeat with remaining dough; vary the ingredients -- if you skipped raisins or nuts, maybe add some to this pan of rolls.
- Check if the water in the oven is still warm, if not dump out and start with fresh hot water. Put plastic wrap on both pans (re-use the other piece), and pop in the warm oven. Set the timer for 45 minutes. Go do something productive---clean the counter-top before all that stuff gets hard! :-D.
- When the rolls have risen to the top of the pan (or a smidgen over), remove them from the oven, preheat oven to 350. When it's warm bake them for 20 minutes; tops will be golden brown.
- Cool on a rack; then frost with a cream cheese/butter cream frosting (slather it on thick like Gramma does for the grandkids!).
- You have JUST entered the Pearly Gates!
