Cinnamon Buns

4 Eggs
1/2 C Sugar
1/2 C Oil
1 t Salt
2 C Milk – Scalded
Yeast – 1/2 Cup warm water, 2 t sugar, 1 T yeast or 1 package of yeast.
8 Cups of Flour – or more if needed

ICING
4oz of cream cheese
1/3 cup butter
2 C icing sugar
1 t vanilla


First I scald the milk.  While that is cooling I put the 1/2 Cup of warm water in a 2 – 3 Cup glass bowl and mix in the 2 tsp. of sugar.  Then I sprinkle the yeast on top.  While that is rising I mix the 4 eggs, 1/2 Cup sugar, oil and salt in my Kitchen Aid mixer.  When the milk is cooled but still warm I add that the mixture.  When the yeast has risen (only takes about ten minutes) I add that and mix it up.  Then I add the Flour.  When it is all mixed I put it all into a large greased bowl.  Grease the top of the dough and put saran wrap on top.  Let it rise in a warm place.  When it is risen I cut it in half and roll each half – one at a time and spread butter and then sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon.  Roll up and slice.  In the bottom of my pans I put melted butter, corn syrup and brown sugar to make it nice and gooey.  When they are all in the pans, let them rise again and then bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes depending on your oven.  These are time consuming but not difficult to make.  Make sure you have several hours to do them. Can be cooled, frozen, and reheated.

NOTES: I let the dough rise an hour and a half, and then once the buns were made I let them rise at least another hour. They got nice and big! Make sure to make them in a pan with high sides, so the filling doesn't bubble over.
