Fruit Cinnamon Rolls

Actual Cinnamon Rolls

2 1/4 tsp yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup scalded milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter or shortening
1 tsp salt
1 egg
3 1/2 to 4 cups all purpose flour (or whole wheat if you want to be healthy)

Heat oven to 350 F.  In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside.  In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg.  Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth.  Add the yeast mixture.  Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle.  Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5-10 minutes.  Place in a well greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size.  Usually 1- 1/2 hours.

When doubled in size, punch down dough.  Roll out on a floured surface into a 15-9 inch rectangle.  Spread filling in dough.  Beginning at the 15 inch side, roll up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12-15 slices.

Coat the bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar.  Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled,  about 45 minutes.  Bake for a bout 30 minutes or until nicely browned.

Spread frosting over slightly cooled rolls.
