Oh, I almost forgot to share this with you


I made these MOST delicious cinnamon rolls for breakfast over the holidays and they were TO DIE for!!!! Thanks, Bev for reminding me of these with your yummy looking picture!


3 Packages active dry yeast(1/4 ounce each)

2.5 Cups water

1 Package white cake mix

4.5 Cups all-purpose flour

1/2 Cup butter, softened

1/2 Cup brown sugar

2 Teaspoons cinnamon

raisins

your choice of nuts


In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.

Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix and 3 cups of the flour; stir to combine.

Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.

When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.

Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil.

Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.

Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Roll the dough into a 10x16" rectangle.

Spread the softened butter over the rectangle; sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon (and raisins/nuts if desired).

Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the rectangle and cut into 1" wide rolls.
Bake 375 for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
I used cream cheese frosting on top when they were cooled and they were the best!

Thanks to recipezaar for this delicous recipe. I changed it up a bit, but I thank the original author for this one!
