Fast and Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Dough:

• 1/3 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp yeast
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1 1/4 cup warm water
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 cups flour

Filling:

• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar

Icing: (this part is approximate - I just use whatever I have, but it tastes the best with the following)

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• about 2 cups powdered sugar - or whatever amount tastes good to you - just don't over do it!

Directions:

Mix sugar, yeast, oil, and warm water until dissolved. Let stand for 15 minutes. Mixture should about double in size from rising. Add 2 beaten eggs. Mix and add the salt and flour. Add enough extra flour until the dough is soft and not sticky. Knead 5 minutes. Roll into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Brush dough with the melted butter. Mix together cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkle all over the dough. Roll it up and slice 1 inch slices. Place in an ungreased pan (try to avoid metal pans!) and let rise 10 minutes. Bake between 350 and 375 degrees (363-ish) for 10-15 minutes. Let cool a while before icing! Mix together the butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then spread on cinnamon rolls!

Number of Servings: Makes about 12-14 rolls

Preparation Time: About an hour to 1 1/2 hours
