Soft Gooey Cinnamon Buns


1 cup warm milk
1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs
2Tbsp. yeast
1 pkg. instant butterscotch pudding
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar (optional)
8 cups flour
Filling:
1 cup soft margarine
2 cups Brown sugar
4 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together milk, water & margarine till margarine is melted, add eggs, yeast, salt, sugar, then add flour & pudding. Mix until smooth and sides are clear of dough, you may need another 1/2 cup or flour, but this is an extremely soft dough.
Let rise in a warm spot for 45 min. punch down and cut into half. Roll out into using rolling pin to aprox. 15 x 8 inch rectangle and spread 1/2 cup of soft margarine on top, then mix together brown sugar & cinnamon and sprinkle 1/2 the mixture over top and pat down a bit.

Roll up and cut into 12 pieces,
and place in a greased 9 x13 pan or sometimes i use a cookie sheet and put 12 in each pan, i tend to score mine first and cut with a knife, many people prefer using dental floss whatever works for you is great, then repeat with second batch of dough to make a total of 24 cinnamon buns. Let rise 1/2 hr. and bake at 325 for 20 -25 min. After baking let rest a min. then turn upside down on a cookie sheet so buns will come out easily

Drizzle on some cream cheese icing or butter icing is also delic. I love making these so they're just hot out of the oven for supper, and one i put into the freezer for a needed dessert day or company.
