Trish's Cinnamon Rolls

Yet another great recipe from my neighbor, Trish Nichols. Her mother used to make these for her when she was growing up, so this recipe is tried and true! This is my all-time favorite recipe for soft, melt-in-your-mouth cinnamon rolls. They rank up there next to Cinnabon's! Once you see the ingredients you'll know why! But hey, they are worth making every once in a while! Great for Valentine's Day!

1 3/4 T. yeast
1 C. warm water
1/3 C. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 C. melted butter
3/4 C. evaporated milk
1 egg, beaten
4 1/2 C flour

1 stick of butter
2 C. brown sugar
4 tsp. cinnamon

Dissolve yeast in warm water.
Mix together sugar and salt. Add to yeast.
Add butter, evaporated milk, egg and flour.
Knead and let rise until double.
Roll out and rub an entire stick of butter over the top of rolled out dough.
Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Sprinkle cinnamon mixture over the top of rolled out dough.
Pinch edges to seal.
Let rise again until double. (About 30-45 minutes)
Bake @ 375 degrees for 15 minutes.

Frost with your favorite white icing or frosting.
