Grandma's Cinnamon Rolls

When I realized we were going to be at 'Papa & Nana's' for breakfast on Christmas Eve morning I could not resist asking to have Grandma Jones make her famous cinnamon rolls. Nothing like them. When she was making her 4th batch of the day it dawned on me that these were pictures that needed to be taken. So - if you have ever wanted to know how to make 'Grandma's Famous Cinnamon Rolls'... Here you go...

You start by making a batch of bread/roll dough. Either by hand or in the bread machine. Melt a cube of butter in a 9x13 pan (by sticking it in your oven that is preheating to 350* )

Sprinkle a moderate amount of brown sugar over the melted butter in the 9x13 pan - set aside.

After the dough has risen roll out into a rectangle and spread with soft butter.

Sprinkle with white sugar...

...and cinnamon ~

Roll up in a loose roll from the wide side.

Cut into approximately 1" pieces with either scissors or using dental floss...

...and arrange in prepared pan.

Lightly press down with your hand.

After pressing down cover with a cloth and let rise.

When nearly double in size pour cream over the top and let set a few minutes so the cream can run down between the rolls.

Bake at 350* for about 30 minutes

(aren't they beautiful?!)

Turn upside down on cooling rack when taken from the oven.

(this is my mom/'Nana' in this picture!)

Enjoy!!!

(Just like my nephew Jacob did!)

Edited to add:

1) Grandma uses some of the butter melted in the pan to spread onto the dough

2) One pint of whipping cream should last for 2-3 batches
