Time 45m

Yield 72 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 cups raisins
boiling water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast (2 pkgs)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 cups lukewarm water (110 F)
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
8 1/2-9 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup shortening
2 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
8 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted butter or 1/2 cup regular margarine
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 dash salt
3 tablespoons melted butter or 3 tablespoons regular margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons hot milk

Steps:

  • Place raisins in bowl; add enough boiling water to cover. Let stand 5 minutes to plump. Drain off water; reserve raisins.
  • Sprinkle yeast and 1 Tablespoon sugar over lukewarm water in large mixing bowl; stir to dissolve. Add ½ cup sugar, salt, ginger, 3 cups of the flour and eggs. Beat with electric mixer at medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Cover and let stand in warm place until foamy, about 40 minutes.
  • Add raisins and shortening to yeast mixture; mix well. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
  • Turn dough out onto floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl, turning over once to grease top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, combine 2 ½ cups brown sugar and 8 teaspoons cinnamon in bowl; set aside.
  • Punch down dough. Divide dough in fourths. Let rest 10 minutes. Roll out each forth on floured surface to 18 x 8-inch rectangle. Spread each with one fourth of melted butter. Sprinkle each with one fourth of brown sugar-cinnamon mixture. Roll up like a jelly roll, starting at wide end. Pinch edges to seal. Cut each roll in 18 (1-inch) slices. Place slices, equally spaced, cut side down, in 3 greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pans, 24 rolls in each pan. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine heavy cream, ½ cup brown sugar, vanilla and 1 teaspoons cinnamon in bowl; mix until blended. Spread one-third of cream mixture over each pan of rolls after they have doubled.
  • Bake in 375°F oven 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately. Cool on racks. While still warm, drizzle with Vanilla Glaze. Makes 72.
  • Vanilla Glaze: Combine 3 cups sifted confectioners sugar, dash of salt, 3 Tablespoons melted butter or regular margarine, 1 teaspoons vanilla and 2 Tablespoons hot milk in bowl; beat until smooth. Add a little more milk, if necessary, to make a thin glaze.

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon rolls, but I tried these and they were actually really good. The dough is so soft and fluffy.

These cinnamon rolls are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling by half.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cinnamon rolls didn't turn out as good as yours. The dough was a bit too dense.

I tried using a different type of yeast than what you recommended and it didn't turn out as well. I'm not sure if that was the problem or not. It still tasted really good though!
