These are my favorite cinnamon rolls. They don't really qualify as "dinner", but since we ate them all day, I thought I'd include the recipe:
Vanessa's Favorite Cinnamon Rolls
Combine the following and let stand for 15 minutes, or until it bubbles up:
2 1/2 c. warm water
1/2 c. oil
3/4 c. sugar
3 1/2 T. yeast
Add 2 beaten eggs
Add 6 1/2 c. flour and 1 T. salt (sifted)
Add 1+ more cups of flour until not too sticky. Let rise for 10 minutes. Roll out into 1 ft. x 3 ft. rectangle. Melt 1/3 c. butter and spread on top. Combine 1 c. sugar + 2 T. cinnamon and sprinkle on top of butter.
Roll up into a jelly roll. Cut into 24 pieces. Line in pan 2 wide and 4 down in smaller glass dishes or 3 wide/4 down in 9x13 pan. Let rise until double. Will fill pan (about 45 minutes)
Cook for 20 minutes @ 350 degrees.
Ice after 10 minutes cooled with cream cheese frosting:
1 stick butter
1 8 oz. cream cheese
2 lbs. pwd. sugar
milk
vanilla
**To make the caramel pecan version of the rolls (my personal favorite)
1 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
4 T. light corn syrup
Cook and stir until combined. Spread in bottom of 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup pecans or walnuts. Lay 12 of the uncooked cinnamon rolls on top. Follow baking instructions. Dump out onto foil immediately after you remove them from oven. Don't frost. Just eat!!
