Cinnamon Rolls for 8 people

Time to complete 25-30 minutes
Temperature required 425 degrees


Ingredients

• Shortening
• Biscuit mix   2 cups
• Milk   2/3 cup
• Brown sugar    3 Tablespoons    (white can be used if needed)
• Cinnamon        1 Tablespoon
• Butter              2  Tablespoons
• Flour
• Nuts or Raisins  1/2 cup each   (optional)
• Wax paper

Instructions

1. Preheat Dutch oven with a rack

2. Grease cake pan or pie pan that will fit in Dutch oven.

3. Mix together milk and biscuit mix.

4. Prepare an area to roll the dough.  If needed, cut wax paper approximately 12x18 inches and sprinkle lightly with flour.

5. Roll dough into 8 x 14 inch rectangle.

6. Sprinkle cinnamon, sugar, nuts, raisins, and small bits of butter all over the dough.

7. Roll the dough lengthwise into a long log (think jelly roll)

8. Cut the roll into 1/2  to 3/4 inch slices  ( a serrated knife makes this easier)

9. Place slices into greased pan with cut side on the bottom.

10.Put pan quickly into oven so as to not loose heat.

11.  Check in 5 minutes.  If a slight crust has not started to form, add some coals.  If the rolls have started to brown, reduce the heat by removing some of the coals.  Recheck in 5 more minutes.

With proper heat, the rolls should be ready in 15-20 minutes.
