PW Cinammon Rolls

Here's the story of the Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls. Since we've gotten married, I've been feeling more domestic. Hence the idea to make cinnamon rolls from scratch was born. The recipe makes an obsence amount of cinnamon rolls so it made sense to do this when I knew people would be here to take most of them home. We ended up with 10 pans of ooey, gooey, buttery, sweet, cinammony goodness.
So first step was to make the dough which took a couple of hours with all the scalding and rising going on. This is what it looked like when we "put it to bed" Friday night. By Saturday morning it was just about ready to come out of the bowl so we punched it back down until it was time. We all took turns rolling out the dough. Yes, I own a rolling pin. Karen was the best. It took a lot of elbow grease to roll it out.
I think this is the best part: making the filling for the rolls. Anything that calls for 2 sticks of melted butter has to be good, right? In went the filling. Butter, sugar, cinammon, oh my!
Roll it up, roll it up.
Slice the rolls and put them in a pan in which the bottom is covered with melted butter. As the PW says, this is definetely not Non-Caloric. Missing a few pictures, but the rolls had to rise for a little while and then we baked them. The house smelled amazing when they were baking. While the rolls were arriving at their happy place, we made the icing. Again, anything that calls for 2 lbs of powdered sugar must be good. Mom had the job of icing them as they came out of the oven. I may or may not have caught her doing a little taste test of the icing. We ended up with 10 pans of cinnamon rolls. I had several over the course of the weekend and then managed to pawn the rest off on Mom, Karen, and Justin. I knew better than to have multiple pans of cinnamon rolls sitting on our counter.
