Cinnamon Rolls For Dummies

*Sorry no pictures to go along with this post i was in a gigantic hurry*

This is our Easter weekend favorite tradition. It is so incredibly easy and delicious!

1 box white cake mix                          5 c. flour
2 T. yeast                                           pinch of salt
2 1/2 c. warm water

Sprinkle yeast on cake mix and add salt. Add warm water and mix well. Add flour. Rise until double in size. Punch down and roll out. Spread melted butter on top then sprinkle cinnamon, sugar, and brown sugar....sprinkle generously because as it rises it spreads out. Roll up into one big long roll and cut 1 inch slices with thread. Place rolls on greased cookie sheets and cover with a towel and let rise again. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until very very VERY light golden brown (in my oven they were ready in 14 minutes...i over cooked one batch and it just wasn't the same). Glaze while warm.

Glaze:
1 T. melted butter                             1 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla                                  3 T. milk

(i usually have to double the glaze recipe in order to have enough glaze for all the cinnamon rolls)

enjoy!
