(NOT figure friendly! But, once in a while is fine, right?)

Rolls

Combine 3 Cups of flour, 1/4 C. sugar, 3/4 tsp. salt, 3/4 tsp. yeast, and 1/8 tsp. baking soda in mixer

Add 2 eggs, 1 C. water, and 1 TBS Buttermilk (I used reg. milk this time) until blended

Then, add 1/4 C. softened butter

Knead for 15 minutes with dough hook

Wrap and refrigerate overnight

Roll out to 17x20 rectangle

Filling

Spread 1/4 C. softened butter over rolled out dough

Mix together 1 C. firmly packed dark brown sugar, 2 TBS. Cinnamon (I'll use more next time) and sprinkle evenly over the butter. (Leave one inch at the end not covered with butter or sugar mix). Use a little water to wet the uncovered inch of dough so it will seal.

Roll the dough and cut, using a serrated knife, the ends off, then cut the remaining roll into 8 equal parts.

Place on top of parchment paper in a baking dish. Set in warm place for 1 hr. until full size. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. 

While baking, mix frosting. 

Frost immediately after rolls are removed from oven.

Frosting

1/4 C. softened butter

4 oz. cream cheese

3/4 C. powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla

2 drops of lemon extract (I used orange extract this time)

Using mixer, blend together and whisk for 10 minutes.
