Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 Cup butter, margarine, or shortening
  • 2/3 Cup milk
  • 1/2 Cup Cinnamon Sugar (mix 1 cup sugar with 2 tsp cinnamon)
  • 1/4 Cup melted butter
  • 1 Cup Frosting (mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tbsp milk)

Notes

In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt. Cut in butter, margarine or shortening, till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center; add milk all at once.  Stir just till dough clings together.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes.  Roll or pat dough to a approx. 12'' by 14" rectangle 1/2-inch thickness.  Melt 1/4 cup of butter and brush onto the rolled out dough.  Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.  Roll length wise and the cut into 1" pieces.  Place on a baking sheet and bake in a 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.  Drizzle frosting on each cinnamon roll and serve.
