General Conference Cinnamon Rolls

Here you go!

General Conference Cinnamon Rolls
Make dough the day before

1 c water
1 c butter
¾ c sugar
2 t salt
1 c cold water
4 eggs slightly beaten
2 packages yeast or 4 ½ t yeast
½ c warm water
7 1/2 c flour
½ c butter softened
1 c brown sugar
¼ c cinnamon
1 recipe Powdered Sugar Glaze

In a large pot bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add the 1 cup butter, sugar and salt. Remove from heat. Add the 1 cup cold water. When mixture is lukewarm, add beaten eggs. In a separate bow, dissolve yeast in the ½ cup warm water. Allow yeast to rise about 5 minutes, until foamy. Stir into mixture. Add flour and stir together. Cover pan with lid and refrigerate overnight. (A 5-quart ice cream bucket with lid also works well.)
When ready to roll out, divide dough into thirds. Lightly flour surface of bread- board. Roll dough out into a 12x6-inch rectangle about ½ - thick. Spread each rectangle with one-third of the softened butter. In a bowl combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1/3 of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over surface of dough.
Roll up jelly roll style and cut into about 12 rounds. Place on greased baking sheet. Follow same procedure with other two portions of dough. Let raise 2-3 hours. Bake one sheet at a time at 375 for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread with Powdered Sugar Glaze while still warm. Makes 3 dozen rolls that disappear very quickly!!

Powdered Sugar Glaze
½ cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 T milk
2 t vanilla or 1 t vanilla and 1 t almond extract (my secret ingredient)

Cream above ingredients together. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls.
