Cut into 1" slices. Arrange, cut side down, on a greased jelly roll pan or cookie sheet. let rise 15 - 30 mins. in a warm place, covered with a dishcloth. Bake at 400°F for about 12-15 mins.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1/8 cup butter

Beat in a small bowl: butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Gradually add icing sugar and beat until fluffy.

Hints: I double the cream cheese for a tastier (less sweet frosting).
