Cinnamon Rolls


Good Morning!
It is a cold & snowy spring day here in the Hoback Nation
and hubby requested cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
4 tsp. baking powder (I used 3 1/2 tsp. - high altitude adjustment)
1/2 tsp. salt
In medium bowl, whisk above ingredients together.
1/2 c. butter
3/4 c. milk
Cut butter into flour mixture until it looks like crumbs. Add milk and fold until it comes together. Turn out onto floured surface and knead a few times with floured hands to keep from sticking. Flour surface again and roll out into rectangle 1/2 inch thick.

filling:
2 Tb. butter, melted
1/2 c. sugar
2 Tb. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Mix above filling ingredients together
and spread over rolled out dough.

Roll the dough up starting from long edge.
Cut rolled dough into sections 1 inch thick each.
Place 1/2 inch apart in a sprayed baking dish or pan.
Will make 12-16 rolls.
Bake at 400* for 15-20 minutes. Turn halfway through baking.
Top will brown slightly when done.

Frosting:
2 c. powdered sugar
1 or 2 Tb milk or half & half
1/4 tsp. vanilla
dash of salt.
Mix together until smooth. if it's too runny,
add more powdered sugar,
if it's too thick, add a dash of milk.
Drizzle frosting over cinnamon rolls and serve.
