So, since I just typed this recipe for my mother in law, I decided to copy and paste it here for my blogger friends. Hope you enjoy!
Crescent Rolls or Cinnamon rolls
Dissolve 1 package of yeast in 1 cup of very warm water, add 1/2 cup of sugar, let stand for 30 minutes.
Add 2 beaten eggs, 1 stick of margarine, 1 tsp. of salt, and 4 cups of flour.
Mix, let stand overnight or 6-7 hours. Cover with a damp cloth (or use a large bowl with a lid on it). DO NOT REFRIGERATE.
Next morning, divide into 3 parts. Roll each part in a circle, and spread with soft margarine. Cut into pie shape, 8 times. Roll up, starting with wide end. Place on greased baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise 2 hours. Bake at 350* for 15 minutes, brush with margarine and bake 2 min. more. Mary Ellen (the lady who gave me the recipe) said she always doubles this recipe , because once you start making these they expect them.
For cinnamon rolls, spread the dough into a rectangle and spread soft margarine on them. Then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture, roll up and slice.
For cinnamon rolls, ice with powder sugar icing.
*May put into a large bowl with a lid and let raise overnight, Tupperware or plastic one.

Yum, I'll have to try that! I love crescent rolls and cinnamon rolls!
Sounds really good, but...I think I'll wait and let you make it for me someday:) If it has more than 5 ingredients and takes more than 10 minutes to prepare, then it's out of my league!
MMMM These sound yummy!
Now you have an excuse to come out West. It's beautiful out there.
Kim, I LOVE this recipe. This is the recipe that I have used for about 20 years now. Someone gave it to my sister when I was about 14, and since I had my own bread business, I used it then, have made it for campmeetings, GBS, etc. It's the best recipe I know of for homemade rolls! So light and fluffy! This is the recipe that I was talking about when I said on my blog, "I have a roll recipe that I like better, but when I want rolls NOW, I make this quick one." =D
Now, about the cinnamon rolls, here's a neat idea to try. They're called
"Cinnamon Love Knots!"
Make up the same dough, then divide it into 4 equal parts. Divide each part into 8, and roll each of the 8 in between your hands, making a long rope. (About 6" to 8"). (You will have 32 cinnamon rolls when you get done!)Dip that rope into a bowl of melted butter, then into a bowl of cinnamon and sugar, then tie the rope into a knot, tucking ends under. Place on a greased cookie sheet WITH SIDES, and let raise as normal. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, at 350. They are sooo yummy, and don't need icing, for they are covered with cinnamon and sugar! ENJOY!!!! (If you have any questions, you can email me at dickinsonfam@gmail.com.)
Love, Heather =)
I like Heather...LOVE this recipe!! My son Steven thinks I am fabulous for making rolls...(He doesn't understand that other moms can do the same thing!!) I'll never tell!!!
