Cinnamon Rolls (From my sister)

In a pot combine:

1 1/2 c. milk
1 1/2 c. water
1 c. oil
2/3 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt

Heat the above to 110F. Take off heat. In a bowl put 3 c. of flour with 4 packages of yeast (9 1/4 tsp.) Mix well. Pour milk on top of flour and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Add 1 c. flour and 4 eggs. Beat 2 minutes on high speed.

Gradually add 5 more cups of flour. Using your hands or a spoon to mix. Turn out on a floured table and let rest 10 minutes. Knead 25 times. Put in a large, greased bowl. Cover and let rise 45 min. to 1 1/2 hours, until dough doubles in size. Dough will be very sticky.

Punch down. Cut in half.

Roll out half of the dough on a well floured surface. Melt butter (I use lots, probably 3 sticks or more for the entire recipe. It is very messy). Brush butter on dough (or pour it over is more like it). Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on dough. I just grab handfuls of sugar and throw it on the dough, alternating with cinnamon, until it looks good and gooey.

Roll up jelly-roll style. Using thread, cut into rolls. Put in butter baking dishes (I use 9x13 stoneware pans or pie pans). Cover and rise 20 minutes.

Bake at 350F for 20 min.

When you take them out of the oven, brush with melted butter. Cool completely.

Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk and vanilla (add some maple flavoring if you like that) until you have a thick glaze. Spread on rolls.
