Cinnamon Rolls


As a little girl I loved to make these with my Mom. . . she would always let me eat the ends before she cooked them.  These ones are made with whole wheat flour.

Ingredients

2 cups flour,        4 1/2 tsp. baking powder,        1/2 tsp. salt,        3 tbsp. shortening,        1 cup milk,        butter,        brown sugar,      cinnamon.

Preheat oven to 425F.  Mix your dry ingredients first (flour, salt and baking powder).  Blend in shortening using a fork until you have a crumbly mixture, add milk.  You now will have a simple dough.

Create a flour bed on your working surface, this will allow you to roll out your dough without it sticking.  Flour your rolling pin too.  Roll dough to about 1/4 inch thick.

Spread butter to cover entire surface of dough, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top of this.  Start at one end and begin to roll until you have a long tube.  Cut into 1 inch slices.  Put on greased cookie sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned.
