2 Tbs. yeast

1/2 cup sugar

3 cups flour

2 tsp. salt

2/3 cup powdered milk

Then add:

1/2 cup melted margarine

2 1/4 cup hot tap water

2 eggs, beaten

Mix above ingredients, then add:

1 cup brown sugar

ICING:

¾ cup boiling water

1 pkg powdered sugar

Knead dough in mixer, then kneed by hand until soft and smooth. Let rise approximately 20-30 minutes. Do not punch down! Roll out dough in a large circle. Spread filling on half of dough and fold remaining half over the top creating a half circle. Use a pizza wheel to cut into 1" strips. Take each strip and pull & twist a few times, then spiral each strip on the pan to form a circle.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Top with icing while warm, and serve. Makes approx. 18 large rolls.
