It might surprise you to find that using the Amish starter (often used to make Friendship bread) does not produce a sour baked product. These cinnamon rolls are sweet and tender and will become a favorite.

Rolls

1     cup starter

½    cup sugar

1     tablespoon salt

½    cup vegetable oil

1½  cups hot water

½    tablespoon dry yeast

6     cups flour

Cinnamon filling

½  cup cinnamon

1   cup sugar (light brown sugar will produce a warm, dark filling)

2   sticks butter, melted

Glaze

4   cups powdered sugar

½  cup cream or milk

Mix ingredients for the rolls, cover the bowl with a cloth, and allow to rise in a warm but not hot place for at least an hour (two hours is even better). Turn out on flour-covered surface, sprinkle with a little flour and then pat or roll to a thickness of about ½ inch. Spread with melted butter, then mix the cinnamon and sugar and spread that on top. Roll the dough up and then slice into 2-inch pieces. Place into greased baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.After baking, spread glaze on top and eat!
