    Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup water with 1 tablespoon sugar and ginger. Add 2 cups warm water, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, eggs and 3 cups flour. Beat well. Allow to set until light.

Divide dough into fourths; roll each piece about 22 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. Spread with melted butter. Combine 1 pound brown sugar with 8 teaspoons of cinnamon for dough. Sprinkle top of dough with brown sugar mixture. Roll as for jellyroll.

    Cut into 1-inch pieces. Place in greased pans. Let rise until double in bulk. Combine cream, 1/3 cup brown sugar,
    1 teaspoon cinnamon and vanilla. Spread mixture on rolls. Add nuts, if desired. Bake in 375° for 25 minutes or until done. Remove from pans immediately.

    Glaze:
    1 lb. confectioners' sugar
    2 1/2 tsp. vanilla
    Pinch of salt
    3 TBSP. butter, melted
    Hot milk

    Combine ingredients for glaze. Frost rolls.
