Cinnamon Rolls/Sticky Buns

Cinnamon Rolls

4 c. scalded milk
1 ½ c. sugar
2 t. salt
8 eggs, beaten
2 c. mashed potatoes
1 ½ c. shortening
½ c. warm water
2 pkg. yeast
6 c. whole wheat flour (or enough white flour to make a soft dough. approx. 9-10 c.)

Rise twice. Roll out. Sprinkle with butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Bake at 375 until golden brown.
(At Pike Place in Seattle there is a little bakery that serves the best Sticky Buns I have ever had-with the exception of my mom's! The caramel melts in your mouth. )

Sticky Buns:

¾ c. corn syrup
¼ c. butter
½ c. brown sugar

Combine and place on jelly roll pan before you put the cinnamon rolls on to raise. (Best done with 1½ of the sticky bun recipe.) Before pan cools turn upside down on a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap to allow the caramel to be on top and drip down through the cinnamon rolls.
