Ingredients:
1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 cup warm water
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3-1/2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups hot water
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon salt
butter, melted
brown sugar
cinnamon
Add water to yeast and sugar and set aside for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat butter, sugar, and salt together until creamy. Alternately add the flour, egg, and yeast mixture and continue beating until well combined. Knead for about 2 minutes until smooth dough forms, adding more flour as needed. Cover and allow to rise, half an hour.
Roll dough out onto a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread evenly with melted butter, cinnamon and a generous amount of brown sugar. Roll up into one large roll, keeping the seam downwards.
Cut rolls using dental floss about 2 inches thick and place onto greased baking sheet. Let rolls rise in baking sheet for about half an hour.
Bake for 10 minutes at 425 and then 5 minutes at 350.
For frosting, combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and some vanilla bean paste. Frost rolls after they are cooled.
