2 packets active dry yeast
¹/₂ C. warm water
2 C. lukewarm milk (scalded, then cooled)
¹/₃ C. granulated sugar
¹/₃ C. Crisco^® Pure Vegetable Oil
3 tsp. Clabber Girl^® Baking Powder
2 tsp. salt
1 egg
6 ¹/₂ to 7 ¹/₂ C. unbleached white flour
4 Tbsp. margarine or butter, softened
¹/₂ C. granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. Spice Islands^® Ground Saigon Cinnamon
²/₃ C. walnuts or pecans, chopped

For Frosting:

1 C. powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. Spice Islands^® Pure Vanilla Extract

Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in milk, ¹/₃ C. sugar, vegetable oil, baking powder, salt, egg and 2 to 3 cups of the flour. Beat with mixer until smooth. By hand, mix in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover, let rise in a warm place until double, about 1 ¹/₂ hours (dough is ready if indentation remains when touched).
2. Grease two 13x9x2-inch baking pans; set aside. Punch down dough; divide in half. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Roll one half of the dough into a 12×10-inch rectangle. Spread with 2 Tbsp. of the butter. Mix ¹/₂ C. sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the rectangle. Sprinkle with half of the chopped nuts, if desired. Roll up, beginning at the 12-inch side. Pinch edge of the dough into the roll to seal. Stretch the roll to make it even.
3. Cut the roll into twelve 1-inch slices. Place slightly apart in one of the baking pans. Wrap the pan tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Let rise in warm place until double, about 30 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough. Let rolls rise on countertop for ¹/₂ hour before refrigerating. Refrigerate 12 hours, but no longer than 48 hours. Next morning take rolls from refrigerator and let sit for about ¹/₂ hour before baking.
4. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
5. To make Frosting, mix powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth and of spreading consistency. Frosts 1 pan of rolls.
6. Remove foil from pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden. Frost with powdered sugar frosting while warm.
7. Makes 2 dozen rolls.
