Crites Family Stuff

Ingredients for 24 servings

• .5 cup warm water
• 2 tbsp active dry yeast
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 3.5 oz package instant vanilla pudding
• .5 cup butter, melted
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp salt
• 6 cups flour (maybe more)

Filling:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 4 tsp cinnamon

Frosting:

• 8 oz cream cheese
• .5 cup butter, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2.5 tbsp milk

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Stir until dissolved. Set aside. In large bowl, take pudding mix and prepare according to package directions. Add butter, eggs and salt. Mix well. Then add yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, knead until smooth. Do not over flour the dough. It should be very soft but not sticky. Place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled.
2. Roll out on floured board to 34 x 21 inches in size. Take 1 cup soft butter and spread over surface. In bowl, mix 2 cups brown sugar and 4 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle over the top. Roll up very tightly. Slice every 1 1/2 inches. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Cover and let rise until doubled. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes. Remove when rolls start to turn golden brown.
3. Frost warm rolls with cream cheese frosting (combine butter and cream cheese and mix well, then add vanilla and sugar and mix again. Add milk for desired consistency).
