Cinnamon Roll/Twist Recipe

Cinnamon Roll/Twist Recipe

So this is my sister's recipe that she posted on my other blog. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks great. So if any of you try it out let me know how it goes. :)

Ingredients:
2 pkg quick rise yeast(or 2 Tbs) dissolved into 1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 cups milk scalded
1/2 shortening
1/2 sugar
2 tsp salt
2 eggs
6 cups flour (add more if needed)

Directions:
When milk is lukewarm, add shortening, sugar, eggs, yeast, and 3 cups flour. Beat well with mixer. Add the rest of the flour one cup at a time until dough is soft but not sticky. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size. Roll dough to aprox. 25 x 22 inches spread with butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.


Fold in half lengthwise. Cut into strips 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide, twist, and turn starting in the center to form a roll. Place on baking sheet and bake at 375' for 15 to 20 mins or until golden brown. Spread Icing over top right while hot. Serve warm.


Icing :Mix 1 pound powdered sugar, 1/2 cube butter, 1 tsp vanilla, add milk to consistency to spread.
