Cinnamon Rolls

I woke up this morning and immediately had a craving for cinnamon rolls. I'd never really MADE cinnamon rolls and I didn't feel like getting dressed and going to the store to buy some in a can. I got online and started looking at some different recipes, trying to find one that 1. didn't take hours to let it rise and 2. (most importantly) required only ingredients that we already had. Surprisingly, I found one and they were DELICIOUS! We took some pictures of them but, long story short, ended up not being able to get them off our camera. So, no pictures but I'll share the recipe!

3/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
4 tbsps. shortening
4 tsps. baking powder (i misread the recipe and put 4 TABLESPOONS of baking soda, haha! i just scooped some of it out.... they still turned out!! :))
1 tsp. salt

ROLLS:

Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening. Stir in milk. Turn out on lightly floured board or pastry cloth. Knead about 1/2 minute. Roll out to rectangular shape, 1/2 in. thick.

Brush dough with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon (nuts would be good too). Roll like jellyroll; slice 1/2 in. thick. (I'm pretty sure I cut bigger pieces than that... I wanted monster cinnamon rolls!) Melt some shortening in bottom of pan (i used spray). Place rolls in pan and bake.

Bake 12-15 minutes; 475°F; 15 to 20 biscuits

ICING:

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (i just realized that i completely forgot to add vanilla! Luckily it was still good icing!)
1/8 teaspoon salt

Blend with mixer until light and fluffy
