Grandma's Cinnamon Rolls

The secret to these rolls is the brown sugar sauce they're baked in. I serve them as dinner rolls as well as for special breakfast treat.

15 ServingsPrep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min.

Ingredients

DOUGH:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar, divided
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°), divided
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3-1/4 to 3-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
TOPPING:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup packed brown sugar
FILLING:
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened

Directions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in 1/4 cup
warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add the remaining sugar and
water, butter, egg, salt and 1-1/2 cups of flour; beat until smooth.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic,
about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease
top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
