How to Make Sweet Memories Cinnamon Rolls
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in lukewarm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add melted shortening and beaten egg to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups flour, powdered milk, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out to a 11/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Brush the dough with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough lengthwise into a log.
- Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the rolls are still warm, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
