BEST CINNAMON ROLLS
When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees; have a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Keep the tube of crescent rolls in fridge until ready to use and you have all your ingredients ready to go.
- In a small bowl combine the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in microwave safe bowl and set aside.
- Now, take the tube out of fridge and roll out on a cutting board. You want to flatten the dough out with your hands to make a rectangle. You don't need to use a rolling pin but you can use one if you want to make the same thickness throughout.
- Spread the butter with a pastry brush over the entire dough. Save a little butter for when you have rolled up this up after the filling is inches.
- Sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon mixture over the butter (a nice coating). Save a little for when it's rolled up.
- Starting with the shorter end, roll the dough up into a log.
- Brush the remaining butter over the outside of the log and sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the butter.
- With a sharp knife cut the roll into 8 slices. To do this, start by cutting the roll in half then half again until you have 8 slices.
- Place the slices on the baking sheet. You will probably still have extra cinnamon sugar mixture so sprinkle that over the cut slices.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Turn the pan around after 5 minutes and check after 10 minutes. They should look puffed, light brown and the bottoms will look light to medium brown as well. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
- To make glaze: In a small bowl blend the powdered sugar with the milk and mix up until you have a glaze consistency. If you have a mini whisk this makes for easier mixing. You can use a spoon or small fork as well. When the rolls are slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over each roll.
- ENJOY these yummy treats!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract will give your cinnamon rolls a delicious and aromatic flavor.
- Be careful not to over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the dough tough. Knead it just until it comes together and is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to double in size and become light and fluffy.
- Roll the dough out evenly. This will help to ensure that the cinnamon rolls are all the same size and shape.
- Don't skimp on the cinnamon sugar mixture. This is what gives the cinnamon rolls their classic flavor. Be generous with the mixture and sprinkle it evenly over the dough.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious caramelized flavor.
