McDonald's Cinnamon Melts.

Dough ingredients:
1 pkg. active dry yeast (1/4 oz.)
1/2 cup warm water (105 to 110* F.)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 tablespoon salt
4 cup flour

To make dough, first mix yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes

In another large bowl, combine granulated sugar, whole milk and melted butter. Beat it together with mixer.
Add eggs, salt and a cup of flour and mix it well. Then add another cup of flour and the yeast mixture. Then stir in 2 more cups of flour (That makes 4 cups of flour in total)

Knead into a ball and place in bowl, cover and let rise until double – about 1 1/2 hours.

Cinnamon mixture ingredients:

1 c. firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 T. cinnamon
2/3 c. butter, melted

Combine all ingredients, cover and reserve.

Icing ingredients:

1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1/2 c. (4 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 c. confectioners’ sugar
1 T. whole milk
1/2 t. vanilla extract

Procedures:

On lightly floured surface roll dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch, cutting with sharp knife or pizza wheel into 1/2 inch wide strips; then slice into 3/4 inch to 1 inch chunks of dough.

Grease large muffin tins (Texas-size – 6 muffin cup size) with butter or margarine. Place 6 pieces of dough into each cup; spoon 1 – 1 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon mixture over the dough. Drop 7 more pieces of dough into each cup and spoon 2 tablespoon cinnamon mixture over top.
Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise 30 minutes.

Bake in preheated 350* F. oven 17 – 20 minutes until light brown and cinnamon mixture has melted.

Next, prepare icing by beating butter and cream cheese until light; add confectioners’ sugar, mixing slowly. Add milk and vanilla and beat on high until smooth and fluffy. Spoon 1 T. icing over each melt.

Let it cool completely. These will freeze well and are reheated in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds.
