    I found this recipe on foodnetwork.com I used butter instead of margarine. I used 2 packages of yeast, instead of 2 tablespoons. I omitted the pecans. I melted the butter before spreading over the dough and only used 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. I did not ice the rolls.

    Ingredients

    • Dough Mixture:
    • 4 eggs
    • 6 ounces sugar (I used 3/4c.)
    • 1 teaspoon 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

    1. In a large mixing bowl beat the eggs, sugar, and salt for the dough mixture.
    2. Combine the warm milk and margarine and add to the egg mixture.
    3. Slowly add 4 cups flour and beat well.
    4. Add the yeast and mix thoroughly.
    5. Add the remaining 4 cups flour and mix on medium speed for 7 minutes.
    6. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
    7. Let the dough rise to double its size, about 1 hour.
    8. Roll the dough into a 1 1/2 by 2-foot rectangle.
    9. For the filling:
    10. Spread 4 ounces of margarine over the dough and sprinkle entire surface with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans.
    11. Roll the dough into a cylinder shape starting with the 2-foot edge.
    12. Cut into 24 slices.
    13. Place the slices into an oiled pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.
    14. Cool and cover with icing.
    15. For the icing:
    16. Stir all ingredients until thoroughly combined.

      Used to eat these all the time at Ramona Cafe. Sad to see Sonja move on, but wish her well.
      These are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. They won best of at the San Diego Fair, although I don't remember the year.

      These are Sonja's Grandmother's recipe, which is why I think margarine is used rather than butter. I used butter instead and they turned out great.

        I have to say these turned out really yummy! Great for a school snow day... They did take more like 2 hours to rise and then maybe 25 min. to bake.
