Cinnamon Buns

Rieka...this is for you!
3 c. Milk
6 tbsp butter
6 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 c. Warm water
2 envelopes dry yeast
2 eggs
9 c. all purpose flour

Filling
1 c. butter
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp cinnamon

Scald milk. Stir in butter, 6 tbsp sugar & salt. Cool to lukewarm.
Dissolve 1 tsp sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over water mixture.
Let stand until bubbles form aprox 10 min.
In a large mixing bowl, combine lukewarm milk mixture & eggs. Stir in dissolved yeast.
Add 4-5 c of the flour & beat well for 10 min. With a wooden spoon, gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface & knead until smooth & elastic.
This will be a soft dough. Place in a greased bowl & roll over to grease the top. Cover with a damp cloth & let rise in a warm place until doubles in size. Aprox 1 hr. (Skip this step if using fast rising yeast)
Punch down & turn out on lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Roll out each piece of dough to aprox 9x18 inch rectangle. Sprinkle on filling. Roll dough up like a jelly roll, starting from the long side.

Cut into 1-2 in slices.
Place the remaining (if any) melted butter in bottom of pan. Arrange slices in pan and cover with damp cloth. Let rise in pan until double in size aprox 45-60 min
Bake 350 degrees for 35-45 min

Yummy!
