Cinnamon Buns

There is almost nothing better than warm cinnamon buns out of the oven!

Ingredients:
Dough:
4 cups flour
1 package dry yeast
1 cup warm milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
Filling:
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
2 and 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
Frosting (not shown):
1 stick butter
1 and 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt

Dissolve the yeast in the milk, set aside for five minutes until it appears foamy.
Combine sugar, butter, eggs, and salt, then add flour and yeast mixture. Knead until smooth.
Cover and let rise approximately one hour, or until dough has doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Roll dough out into a rectangle. Dough should be about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread butter over dough.
Combine sugar and cinnamon, generously cover dough.
Starting from the long side, begin rolling the dough up, jelly roll style.

Cut dough into slices, using either a serrated knife or by slipping a piece of dental floss under the roll and pulling the ends together. 

Place buns in a greased springform pan, leaving some space between rolls. Allow to rise another 30 minutes.
Bake 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While buns are baking, beat together frosting ingredients. Drizzle over warm buns.

ENJOY!
