GRAMMIE BEA'S OLD FASHIONED CINNAMON ROLLS
These aren't a breakfast roll, but rather a DELICIOUS treat, and one that I often enjoyed when I was young. My grandmother always made her own pie crust, and she would always make extra, so we could have these yummy treats. This is great for using the extra dough you have from your homemade pie crusts instead of throwing it away. Today I usually use the 9" pre-made unroll and bake pie crusts, because it's quick and easy. You can sprinkle on finely chopped nuts of your choice before rolling up if you like. Walnuts and pecans are my favorite. This is my idea of a comfort dessert :) They were always made with lots of love in my house. I hope you will enjoy them as much as my family! The serving size here is for 2 pre-made 9" pie crusts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Let the pie crust sit out for 1/2 hours if using the unroll and bake crusts, so they get soft enough to roll up without the crust cracking. (Make homemade pie crust if you are making your own. Roll out thin, just as you would to make a pie crust).
- Melt butter in the microwave for 20 seconds, and brush onto top of pie crusts.
- Mix cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle on top of the butter.
- Roll up crust dough jelly roll style, making into a long log. Crimp the edge of the pie crust so it holds together. (See picture).
- Using a sharp knife cut dough into 3/4" pieces, and place cinnamon side down on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes until a light golden brown. Take out of oven and let cool for a few minutes, then take off sheet, so they don't stick, and let cool.
- Store in plastic container or Zip-Lock baggie, that is if you have any left!

OLD FASHIONED CINNAMON ROLLS
Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in water. Pour milk over shortening, sugar and salt, stirring to melt shortening. Cool to lukewarm. Add eggs and 1 cup flour and mix well. Add dissolved yeast and oats. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on floured surface 8 to 10 min. until smooth/elastic. Shape into a ball and place in greased large bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hr or until doubled in size. Punch dough down. Cover. Let rest 10 min. Divide dough in half. Roll each half to form 2 12-inch squares. Brush each square with 1 tblspn melted butter. For filling, combine all ingredients. Sprinkle 1/2 filling onto each square. Roll up and slice each log into 12 1-inch slices. Place in 2 greased 8-inch square baking pans. Cover; let rise 45 min or until doubled in size. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 25-30 min. Immediately invert pans to remove rolls. Ice with thin confectioners sugar glaze, if desired.
Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Use warm water (105-115°F) and add a pinch of sugar to help activate the yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops gluten, which gives the cinnamon rolls their chewy texture. Knead for at least 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough double in size and become light and fluffy. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
- Roll the dough out evenly: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. This will ensure that the cinnamon rolls are all the same size and cook evenly.
- Spread the cinnamon sugar filling evenly: Use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the butter. Make sure to spread it all the way to the edges.
- Roll up the dough tightly: Starting from one long edge, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the edges together to seal the roll.
- Cut the cinnamon rolls evenly: Use a sharp knife to cut the cinnamon roll log into 12 even pieces. Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Let the cinnamon rolls rise again: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let the cinnamon rolls rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until they are puffy and almost doubled in size.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the cream cheese frosting: While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the cream cheese frosting by beating together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Frost the cinnamon rolls: Once the cinnamon rolls are cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.

These old-fashioned cinnamon rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion.
