Cinnamon Rolls
Dissolve yeast in warm water, then add milk, salt, sugar and oil. Mix, then add eggs.
Gradually add in the flour until combined. You may need extra flour.
Let it rise for 2 hours.
Roll out and then add melted butter, brown sugar, and lots of cinnamon.
Cut and let rise until doubled. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Makes 5-6 dozen.
Caramel Icing
Either on the stove or in the microwave, melt the butter and heat up the half and half. This liquid should be warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.
Add brown sugar and vanilla and stir until dissolved.
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until a nice consistency is reached. This should be lump free and fairly thick. If you want to thin it out, just add a little half and half.
Cream Cheese Icing
In a stand mixer, cream together cream cheese, butter, salt, and vanilla. Then add the powdered sugar in gradually and keep mixing. If you want a thinner icing, you can add a splash of milk.
