Vanilla Cinnamon Rolls
Vanilla Cinnamon Rolls with just the right amount of sweetness topped with a delicious caramel frosting. I added instant vanilla pudding to these wonderfully tender rolls. This recipe makes a BIG batch of cinnamon rolls! Enough to feed a crowd or freeze one pan of rolls for another time.
Let the dough rise until double in size.
Roll into a 18×11-inch rectangle.
Roll and slice into 16 rolls each.
Let rise again until doubled.
Bake and frost!
