Cinnamon Rolls

These are the cinnamon rolls my mom has made every year for Christmas since I can remember.  Trust me when I say that my mom makes THE BEST cinnamon rolls on the planet. My sisters and I have watched my mom make these for the past 20 plus years and she has been making them for even longer.  Unfortunately this makes for a very non specific recipe.  I have added in some more specific instructions but some of it is just to taste or eyeballing it.

4c. Water
1 1/2 c. Butter (softened)
1c. Sugar
3 eggs
3t. Salt
13 1/2c. Flour
12T Dry Milk (2/3c.)
3T. Scant Yeast

Directions:
 Mix lukewarm water and yeast.  Wait 3-5 min.  Add sugar and mix well.  Wait 5-10 min.  Add butter, eggs, salt, dry milk and flour.  Put in a greased bowl covered with a damp tea towel and let rise until doubled.  Divide into 3-4 equal sections and roll out to desired thickness in a rectangular shape.  Add filling and roll.  Cut into individual rolls with dental floss or thread.  Let rise until doubled.

Filling:
Melted or softened butter
Brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.

Cream Cheese Frosting:
8oz Cream Cheese
1 Stick butter (softened)
4c. Powdered Sugar
1t. Vanilla

Bake at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet until just starting to brown and cooked in the center.
