Gold cinnamon rolls
Instructions:
- 3/4 cup milk, warmed
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups bread flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons margarine
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup margarine, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup raisins
- For bread machine, set for dough, add all first ingredients and take out when dough is ready.. otherwise, make dough and let dough set for first rising.
- Take dough and knead for about 1 minute; let rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll dough into rectangle about 10 x 15 inches.
- Spread 1/3 cup margarine over dough to within 1 inch of edges.
- Sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins evenly over dough.
- Roll dough up tightly on long side, press edges together to seal.
- With a knife or dental floss (the method I prefer...slide about 8-10 inches of dental floss under the log, crisscross ends over the top and it will cut neatly through the dough). Cut roll into 1-inch pieces.
- Place rolls into a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise until double in size (about 30-45 minutes).Bake in 375 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. (Do NOT over bake or they will be hard and dry.)
- Cool in pan or on rack for about 10-15 minutes.
- Drizzle with icing made by combining 1 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (blended until smooth).
- Makes 24 cinnamon rolls.
- Enjoy them - YUMMY!
