Mama’s Super Soft Cinnamon Rolls

Directions

1. 1
   Spray two 8- or 9-inch round baking pans with cooking spray.
2. 2
   Whisk together confectioners sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla.
3. 3
   Add 3 1/2 cups flour to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.In a medium saucepan, scald the milk by heating it over medium heat until foam forms around the edges but milk does not reach a boil.Turn off heat and add butter, sugar, potatoes, and salt. Stir to combine and let cool until lukewarm.
4. 4
   Add more milk or confectioners sugar to adjust thickness if needed. Frosting should be thick but very smooth.
5. 5
   Add yeast, then eggs and stir until thoroughly combined.
6. 6
   Bake 14-16 minutes, until just slightly golden on top.
7. 7
   Add milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until all flour has incorporated. Dough will be very sticky.Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour.Punch down dough. (Dont be afraid to get your hands messy!)On a very well-floured surface, roll out dough into a large 12x24-inch rectangle, sprinkling with additional flour as needed.
8. 8
   Remove cinnamon rolls from oven and spread with frosting immediately.
9. 9
   Spread softened butter evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
10. 10
    Let cool slightly, at least 10 minutes, before serving. This allows the rolls to hold their shape a bit better when serving, and also allows the frosting to soak into the rolls more.
11. 11
    Sprinkle brown sugar over the butter and gently spread into an even layer.
12. 12
    Serve and enjoy!
13. 13
    Sprinkle cinnamon over the brown sugar. Beginning from the long side furthest away from you, roll dough toward you, forming a tight log. Using a very sharp knife, slice into 1 1/2-inch sections (I use 3 fingers as a width guide). Arrange rolls in prepared cake pans and cover with plastic wrap or tea towels.
