Happy conferencing!

Hello again! Anne just asked me for my cinnamon roll recipe for conference, so I thought it might be a good idea to post in on the blog. I have used several different recipes over the years, but this is the one Sheryl Gleason makes for cinnamon or orange rolls. Some might even remember that their family would make these and sell them to earn money for camp, etc.

No Rise Cinnamon or Orange Rolls

From Sheryl Gleason

Mix and rest 15 minutes:

· 3 ½ cups warm water

· ¾ cup sugar

· 6 TBSP yeast (not rapid rise)

After yeast mixture has rested add:

· 3 eggs

· 1 TBSP salt

· 10 ½ cups flour

Mix until smooth. Gradually add remaining flour. Dough will be sticky.

Divide in half. Roll each into a rectangle. Spread butter or margarine on top and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. (Variations: Use orange peel & sugar for orange rolls or brown sugar and cinnamon for caramel roll.)

Roll up from long side.

Cut about ½ inch thick sections with string/ thread. Place on a greased cookie sheet 1-2 inches apart. Bake at 375-400 for 10 minutes. Spread on icing while still warm.


ICING for CINNAMON ROLLS:

· Melt 1 stick butter or margarine (This is what her recipe says, but I would reduce or omit the butter)

· 6 TBSP milk

· Start with 3 cups powdered sugar (add more if desired)

· 1 tsp vanilla

Mix together until smooth.

ICING for ORANGE ROLLS:

· Melt 1 stick butter or margarine (This is what her recipe says, but I would reduce or omit the butter)

· Juice from an orange (or can use orange juice)

· Start with 3 cups powdered sugar (add more if desired)

Mix together until smooth.

Enjoy while being spiritually fed!

Love, MOM
