Ingredients

Dough Mixture:

4 eggs
6 ounces sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups milk, lukewarm
4 ounces margarine
8 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons yeast

Filling:

4 ounces margarine
2 cups brown sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup pecans, chopped

Icing:

4 cups powdered sugar
4 ounces margarine
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon almond extract

Directions

In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs, sugar, and salt for the dough mixture. Combine the warm mile and margarine and add to the egg mixture. Slowly add 4 cups flour and beat well. Add the yeast and mix thoroughly. Add the remaining 4 cups flour and mix on medium speed for 7 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise to double its size, about 1 hour.

Roll the dough into a 1 1/2 by 2-foot rectangle.

For the filling:

Spread 4 ounces of margarine over the dough and sprinkle entire surface with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Roll the dough into a cylinder shape starting with the bottom edge, and then cut into 12 slices. Place the slices onto an oiled pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Cool and cover with icing.

For the icing:

Stir all ingredients until thoroughly combined.

Easiest ever rolls
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Love love love this recipe!! Could not be easier!! I do however cut way back on the brown sugar otherwise it's way too sweet... for my family's taste. I almost always make these on the weekend for the kids and they gobble them up right away. For everyone that I've made these rolls for they have had only good things to say. I also add raisins at times. With this simple recipe, the options are endless, but really its excellent the way it is (except cut way back on the brown sugar)Read more

An omission in the directions
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw Sonja making these and I don't remember whether she let them rise again once she put them in the pans. The directions... say to put them directly in the oven after they're cut, but I would think you'd have to let them rise again for them to be fluffy. They look absolutely killer, though, and I can't wait to try them.Read more

great without the bread maker!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I do not have access to all the fun baking needs so I decided to try this recipe. I used a hand mixer and the dough was a bit... much for my little mixer to handle. I decided to finish kneading the dough by hand. After letting them rise, I baked them frosted them and they were gone before I had them on the table. I will definitely make them again!!Read more

pretty NICE
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have had trouble making anything that required yeast. I didn't follow the directions except for the baking part. THis was... my first time that I was able to make cinnamon rolls and they were pretty good. I'm not so sur about the icing and I think I'll leave it out next time.Read more
