45 Minute Cinnamon Rolls

My dad is a wonderful baker and if you have ever had the pleasure to experience one of his yummy cinnamon rolls or homemade bread it is wonderful. I have not even attempted to make my dad's cinnamon rolls. I have tried to make his scones and some other recipes that requires the raising of the dough. I guess I am not a patient person or my house is not the right warmth or humidity, but I have not had much luck. When I found this recipe on http://realmomkitchen.blogspot.com/ I had to give it a try and it was very successful even the second time. I also love this recipe because it does not make a lot. Enjoy!

45 Minute Cinnamon Rolls

1 1/8 cups warm water
1/3 cup oil
2 T yeast
1/4 cup sugar or honey
½ tsp. Salt
1 eggs
3 ½ cups flour

Filling:
1/4 cup butter, softened
cinnamon
sugar

Icing:
2 1/4 C powdered sugar
3 T butter, melted
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
milk ( probably a couple tablespoons or so for desired consistency)

Mix 1st 4 ingredients and let rest for 15 minutes. Add salt and eggs - gradually add flour.Roll out into a 9 x 13 rectangle on a well floured surface. Spread butter on dough. Sprinkle dough generously with cinnamon. Follow with sprinkling sugar over the cinnamon. This is also a generous amount. Enough to completely cover the cinnamon so you can't see it. Roll up from the long side to make a log. Then cut into 12 slices and place on a greased cookie sheet. After shaped, let rest for 10 minutes. Bake 10 - 15 minutes @400 degrees ‘till golden brown. Remove from oven and mix up icing. Let the rolls cool a little before you put the icing on.
