Activate ... 1 1/2 TBSP yeast ½ Cup Water
Meanwhile add the following in the bowl of a mixer:
½ Cup Melted butter
1 Box ( 3.4 oz size )instant vanilla pudding
2 c Milk (scalded and cooled so it doesn’t cook the eggs )
2 Egg s
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Salt
6 C flour ( I add 1 cup of flour and then add the yeast and then continue adding the remaining flour)
Continue mixing until you have a soft dough place in an oiled bowl cover with saran wrap and let rise until doubled. Roll out in a large rectangle and fill with the butter/ cinnamon mixture.

  Fill with: 1/2 C Softened butter 1 1/2 C Brown sugar 3 tsp Cinnamon

 Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread softened butter over dough. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over top. Roll tightly from long end, pinching edges closed when completely rolled.

Slice rolled dough into 1/2" slices (or larger if a larger bun is preferred ). Place into greased pans..
Let rise until doubled. Bake at 350 for 15 -20 minutes, until golden. Do not over bake.

   FROST with:
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/4 C butter (softened)
1 1/2 C confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp milk
SPREAD on very warm rolls.
They are best when eaten fresh, but have found that 10-15 seconds in the microwave rejuvenates them!
