1. Dissolve yeast in warm water for 3 minutes. Add cake mix, 1 cup flour,
eggs, oil & salt. Beat well until bubbles appear. Add 5-1/4 cups flour,
slowly. Stir until soft dough forms. Knead on well-floured No Mess Dough
Disc about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, let rise in a warm place until
double in bulk. Punch down dough, divide into 3 equal parts. Roll out each
section of dough on No Mess Dough Disc, all the way to the edge of disc.
Spread with softened butter, sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar. Roll up like
jelly roll. Cut with dull knife or dental floss into 1" thickness. Place in
a greased baking pan & allow to rise until doubled. Bake at 350 degrees for
20 - 30 minutes. Ice with powdered glaze while still hot....Yield: 3 - 4
dozen rolls.

2. GLAZE: Mix sugar, butter & vanilla. Stir in milk to desired consistency. Drizzle
over hot rolls.

3. Variation:

GERMAN CHOCOLATE PECAN ROLLS: Prepare dough as for cinnamon rolls, except substitute 1 pkg. (2 layer size) German chocolate cake mix for the white cake mix.


CAROL'S NOTES: These are the best cinnamon rolls I have ever made.
I made this full batch for my husband and his coworkers -- but usually
make a half batch which makes a small cookie sheet full. I then frost
with a cream cheese frosting. They are really great. (I make the full
batch with my Kitchen Aid mixer and the half-batch in my bread
machine on the dough cycle - they both turn out great)
