Cinnamon Rolls

Ok, I must come clean I have not taken the time to take pics while doing a cake so this is the best I can do at this time. I love Cinnamon rolls and I fix them for my Sunday School class. This is a recipe I got off Earlene Moore's website, a member of their cake club would fix the for their meetings (I am so glad she did). The title is Chris's wonderful Cinnamon Rolls and they are!!!!
These are so simple and easy so here we go.

Place the following ingredients in a pan
2 cups water
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 t. salt
1 cup sugar
bring to a boil and then cool.
Move liquids to a large metal bowl and add to cooled liquids
6 cups flour
2 eggs
1 pkg. dry yeast
mix but DO NOT KNEAD
lay out 1 stick of butter to soften to room temp.

Chris says she begins this process around 3 o'clock and lets rise to double in size and will punch down(around 6 o'clock), let rise again until double in size again(around 9 o'clock) and let rest 10 minutes. Seperate the dough into 2 equal portions, roll out one portion on floured surface to the size of 12x18. Spead 1/2 of the soften butter and sprinkle generously with cinnamon, brown sugar(raisins and nut are optional). Roll up in jelly style and cut into 12 equal portions. Place on a greased baking pan and repeat with other portion. Leave on counter to rise over night and bake at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes.
makes approx. 2 dozen
I top with my butter cream icing and the rest is history or should I say hipstory because thats where they go my hips.
