Oh, oh...try these cinnamon rolls. They are our Christmas morning tradition and I LOVE these. They've been shared with lots of people, and I always get loads of compliments on them.

Mary Jane's Old Fashioned Cinnamon Rolls

Mix until moist:
3 1/2 c. hot water
1 c. powdered milk
1 c. potato flakes
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter, melted
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
3 c. flour

Add to the above mixture:
2 T. dry yeast
5-7 c. flour (I use 6 c. most of the time...I think it depends on altitude and humidity)

Knead for 5 min. Let dough rest for about 15 min. Punch down and roll out into a rectangle (18x15 inches...and no, I've never measured it!) Spread with 1/2 c. very soft butter. Sprinkle brown sugar over the butter. Sprinkle cinnamon over the brown sugar. (I mix about 2 c. brown sugar with 3 T. cinnamon I have to admit I've never measured that part, so it's an estimate...but you want enough brown sugar so that you have a good 1/8-1/4in layer on the butter and dough, and enough cinnamon to make the brown sugar mixture dark brown and fragrant with cinnamon.) Add nuts or raisins if desired. Roll up the dough, and cut into 12-18 rolls. Place on a large, greased jelly roll pan. Let rise for 30 to 45 minutes. At this point, you may bake the rolls or cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate them overnight to bake fresh in the morning. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool about 10 min. before frosting. Use cream cheese frosting (from a can), or make your own.

Frosting:
1 8 oz. block cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. butter, softened
3 c. powdered sugar
2 T. milk (or more depending on desired consistency)

Mix together and slather those cinnamon rolls.

Seriously...they are as good as a Cinnabon.
