Sinner Buns (Cinnabun)

Not to be confused with the cinnamon roll company that started in Seattle. Based on an old AOL recipe bulletin board from Jess703 that I found in 1997. I changed the margarine to butter to make them more sinful and reduced the yeast a bit. The original recipe called for an overly optimistic 10 minute bake.

Dough-

1 C. milk
2 eggs
1/2 C white sugar
1/3 C butter
1 t salt
4 cups all-purpose flour (20 oz)
1.5 t yeast

Mix and let rise. Dough will be very slack.

Filling-

1/3 C butter (softened)
1 C brown sugar
2.5 T cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon.
Roll out the dough on floured bread board to 20" rectangle 1/4" thick.
Spread the softened butter on the dough then spread the sugar and cinnamon mix evenly over the buttered dough. Roll up and cut into 18 rounds. Place in 9x13" pan. They do not need to rise again. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Topping-

4 T softened butter
3/4 C powdered sugar
2 oz cream cheese
1/4 t vanilla
dash salt

Beat until fluffy. Spread over warm rolls.

Nearly the same recipe as this version I added long ago:
