Ingredients

8 balls of frozen yeast roll dough
1 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 stick margarine, melted

Method

Place dough balls on plate sprayed lightly with baking spray to prevent them from sticking. Allow to thaw but not rise.

Once thawed, melt margarine in microwave. Stir cinnamon and sugar together in separate bowl. Roll out dough into tube about six inches long. Tie into knots.

Dip into margarine and then roll into cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on greased pan and cover with greased plastic wrap. Leave in warm place and allow to rise until double in size (about one and a half to two hours).

Bake at 350° for fifteen to twenty minutes, or until brown. For an added treat, prepare the following cream cheese icing to be served with rolls.
