http://www.recipes-101.com
Here is the basic recipe:
2 1/4 cups very warm tap water
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 white or yellow cake mix
5 cups flour
Cream Cheese Frosting
Filling
1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional
1/4 cup raisins, optional
In a large bowl, mix warm water and yeast together with a whisk. Whisk the cake mix into the yeast water. With a spatula stir in the flour one cup at a time. Let the dough stand in the bowl in a draft free place for 45 minutes. Knead enough to punch down and roll to 18 x 10 inches. Add small amount of flour if needed for kneading.
Mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Heat in the microwave for 15 seconds. Spread over rolled out dough. Sprinkle nuts or raisins over the dough if desired.
Starting with the widest end, roll the dough into a tight log. Cut into
1/2 to 1 inch slices. Place in a greased 9x13 pan and a greased 8x8 pan.
Allow the rolls to raise another 25 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 19-23
minutes. Warm cream cheese frosting in microwave for 30-40 seconds. Drizzle
glaze over the baked cinnamon rolls.
