The Buell's

I was searching for recipes on the Food Network website yesterday and found the greatest recipe for cinnamon rolls. It was taken from the show Semi Homemade with Sandra Lee. They are so delicious I had to share the recipe with everyone.

Cinnamon Rolls by Sandra Lee (with Semi-Homemade on food network)

1 loaf frozen white bread dough, thawed in refrigerator
Flour, for dusting surface

Filling

1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2/3 stick butter, softened

Icing

1 stick butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 15 by 7 inch rectangle. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Spread 2/3 cup softened butter over dough and then evenly sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Starting at the long edge, roll up dough as for a jelly roll. Cut roll into 16 slices and then set aside in a warm place and allow dough to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Divide rolls among 2 lightly buttered pie plates. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden on top. While the rolls are baking, combine the icing ingredients with an electric mixer until fluffy. Frost the warm rolls with the icing. Serve warm.

For those of you who are not into cream cheese frostings, I made a powdered sugar mixed with a litlle butter and milk frosting for ours. I actually made the cream chesse one, but Drew and I weren't really into it. I also had a hard time getting my rolls to rise, so I put them in the oven on warm until they had doubled in size.
