jumer's cinnamon rolls

A couple weekends ago, we woke up to this lovely view out our window. With not much food in the house, we decided to make a cinnamon roll recipe that my mom makes, Jumer's Cinnamon Rolls. (I actually have no idea why they are called that.)

 

The recipe itself is pretty simple to do, but is really good!

Here are the cinnamon rolls before they went in the oven:

 Here are some of them after they were baked...we were so anxious to eat them that I didn't take a picture until after we dug in!

Jumer's Cinnamon Rolls

1 tsp dry yeast

1/2 stick butter

1/2 C sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

2 1/4 C flour*

1 1/4 tsp baking powder*

1/3 C instant milk*

1 tsp salt*

1/3 C shortening (can use butter)*

1. Add pkg of yeast to 1/4 C warm water and set aside. 

2. Melt butter and set aside.

3. Mix cinnamon and sugar and set aside.

4. Mix *'d ingredients and cut in Crisco.  Mix in 1/2 cup cold water.

5. Add yeast and water mixture, and let sit 10 minutes.

6. Divide dough into four equal parts. Roll out each piece, brush with butter, and spoon on cinnamon/sugar mixture. 

7. Roll each piece up long ways, and place them in a lightly greased pan. Every inch or so, cut a slit almost all the way through the roll.

8. Top all four rolls with extra butter and cinnamon/sugar.

9. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
