Tasty

I love cinnamon rolls and I had always been pretty content to make the good old Rhodes variety. Pretty fancy, I know. Making them from scratch just never seemed to be worth it. Until now. I got this recipe from a friend, and they were so tasty and super easy to make.

I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to Rhodes ever again.

To make these delicious cinnamon rolls, here's all you need...
1 box yellow cake mix
2 pkgs(4 1/2 tsp) yeast
5 cups of flour
2 1/2 cups of warm water

Mix all the dry ingredients. Add water and mix well. Knead the dough until it is smooth. Raise until it doubles(about 1 hour). Punch it down and let it raise again for about 45 minutes. Divide the dough into thirds. Roll out 1/3 at a time to a 10x15 rectangle. Spread the dough with butter then sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar. Roll one of the 15 inch sides in and pinch the edges and cut into 2 inch lengths. Place pieces in a greased pan. Let them raise for 15 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Cool. Spread with cream cheese frosting. Attempt to not eat them all in one sitting. Enjoy!

Sounds great. I tried making cinnamon rolls for conference and they turned out a hot mess so this recipe might be just the ticket I need. Thanks!
