Miss Cindy's Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

These cinnamon rolls make a wonderful gift! It takes all day to make them, but OH! They are so gooey, sweet and cinnamony! (Is that a word?)
It makes 7 round pans of rolls. I like to go to my favorite party store, where you can get the aluminum pans and the decorative plastic wrapping to make them festive for gift giving!
Ok, you know you want these, and here's how to make them. But make sure and give yourself enough time to make them. They are worth it! You are going to "WOW" your friends if you decide to give up a pan or two for gift giving. First for the dough, heat 4 cups of milk, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup of sugar. Heat in a large sauce pan. Heat the mixture but don't let it come to a boil. Remove from heat.
When the milk gets lukewarm, sprinkle 2 packs of active dry yeast over the top. No need to stir... Just let it sit on top for a minute or two. Make sure it isn't too hot, just lukewarm, or it will destroy the yeast enzymes and the dough won't rise.

Next slowly add 8 cups of flour. Stir mixture and cover. This is what it should look like.
We have our dough all covered up and it's going to sit and rise for at least an hour.
Remove the towel and add 1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder and a half teaspoon of baking soda and 1 cup of flour. Stir to combine.
Now if you want, you can refrigerate the dough for a couple days or bake them now. If you chill the dough it makes it easier to work with. So, take another break, maybe check Pinterest or something! You might find a good recipe for the holidays. Let's get ready to make these rolls!!! Sprinkle your surface with flour.
Grab half the dough and roll out into a long rectangle.
This dough is so easy to work with!
Now that it's all rolled out, you are ready for the fun stuff!!! Butter, sugar and cinnamon! MMMM!!! 
Pour 1 cup, yes, I said 1 CUP of that good ol' sweet butter!
Brush it all over the dough!! Don't skimp!
Next sprinkle 1/4 cup (or more if you wish) of ground cinnamon all over the butter.
I think I need more...... 
Sprinkle 1 cup of sugar over the cinnamon and butter! Oh this is going to be so buttery and gooey!!! Now here comes the fun part, begin at the end farthest from you, and roll the rectangle tightly towards you.
Just keep it as tight as you can! You can do it! It's really fun when the filling oozes out all over the place. You'll want to lick your counter tops!

When you get to the end, just pinch the seams together. And you will have one long log that'sfull of decadence! 
Next slice the log into 1 1/2 inch slices. You should get 20 to 25 rolls from one log.

Melt 1 stick of butter and add 1 to 2 tablespoons melted butter to your pans, coating evenly. Place the sliced rolls in the pans. Don't get them too close together.
Cover the rolls with a towel and let rise for 25 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. And repeat the butter/sugar/cinnamon/rolling process with the remaining dough. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Now for the maple icing!!!!!!! In a large bowl whisk together a 2 lb. bag of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of maple flavoring.
1/2 cup whole milk and 1/4 teaspoon of salt
add 6 tablespoons of melted butter,
and 1/4 cup of brewed coffee.
Whisk together until smooth. The icing should be thick but pourable. Like this!
When the rolls are finished baking and are still warm, drizzle the icing all over the rolls!!! Fill every nook and cranny with that wonderful maple icing!
Oh, and by the way, the house smells AMAZING!!!!!!
MMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! Cinnamon Rolls!!!!!!
