• 2 1/2 cups lukewarm water
• 2 pks. Quick rise yeast
• 1 box white or yellow cake mix 3
• 1 cup flour
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3 1/4 cups flour
• soft margarine

PREPARATION

Dissolve yeast in water for 3 minutes.

Add cake mix, 1 cup flour, eggs, oil and salt. Beat with beater until bubbles appear.

Stirring with spoon, slowly add about 3 1/4 cups flour; add more flour if it\'s too sticky, making soft dough. Knead on (lightly floured) board about 5 minutes.

Let rise until double in size.

Roll out to about 1/4-inch thick.

Spread with margarine, sugar and cinnamon. Don\'t be stingy as this is what makes really good cinnamon rolls.

Roll up as in jelly roll and stretch out. Slice (about 1-inch wide); place each cinnamon roll on greased pan.

Allow to rise until double. Don\'t crowd them when you put them on the pan.

Bake in 350 degree oven 20 to 30 minutes. Don\'t over cook.

Ice with powdered sugar icing while hot.

Icing can be made by just adding hot water to powdered sugar.

Enough to make it so that you can drizzle the icing over the rolls.
