Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1:

1 1/2 cup goat milk (or cows milk), warmed to 110º

4 1/2 tsp yeast

6 T sugar

1 tsp salt

5 cups all purpose flour

Mix the milk and yeast until the yeast has dissolved. Add the sugar and salt, then start adding the flour a cup at a time until a sticky dough has formed. Knead for about 4-5 minutes.Place dough into a well greased bowl and allow it to rise until doubled.

Step 2:

1/2 pound butter; divided in half

1 1/2 cup brown sugar; divided in half

1 tsp cinnamon; divided in half

1/2 tsp ground cloves; divided in half

Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a large rectangle. Spread half of the butter over each half dough. Sprinkle each rectangle with half of the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Start at the long side of the rectangle, roll tightly.

Slice each roll into 1" slices, and placed in a well-greased baking pan. Place in a warm spot and allow them to rise until nearly doubled. Bake in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes, until done but not fully browned.

Step 3:

8 oz soft goat cheese (or cream cheese)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup butter

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

dash salt

Blend ingredients until smooth. Place a dollup of frosting on each bun, then place under a low broiler for 3 minutes until the frosting has melted and the buns have browned.

Sweet Potato Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

What a wonderful Fall cake this is! It is reminiscent of carrot cake, but oh-so-moist and the flavor is much better! I doubled the frosting recipe and decorated it a bit (as you can tell, I'm no cake decorator)...but I had fun with it.
