Some months ago there was a thread going on the list about cinnamon
rolls, begun, as I recall, by someone who wanted a recipe for great
ones. At the time I couldn't find the recipe I have, which purports
to be for the cinnamon rolls from UBC, so I didn't speak up. But I
tripped over a printout of the recipe today, so I'll send to the list
now, for everyone's enjoyment.

UBC Cinnamon Rolls
This is alleged to be the recipe for cinnamon rolls that are
made/sold at UBC (University of British Columbia) lunchrooms /
cafeterias. All I know for sure is they are to die for.
Dough
3 Cups milk
6 Tbsp butter
6 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp salt
2 envelopes instant dry yeast
2 each large eggs
9 Cups all purpose flour
Filling
1 Cup melted butter, divided
1 1/4 Cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp cinnamon
Preparation:
-Scald milk. Must be very hot.
-Stir in butter, sugar and salt.
-In large bowl, combine milk mixture and eggs.
-Mix yeast and four to five cups of flour.
-Add flour to milk mixture and beat well for ten minutes.
-Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
-Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
Reminder: This should be a soft dough.
-Place in well-greased bowl and roll dough over to grease top surface.
-Cover with damp cloth and let rise until double (approx. 1 hour).
-Punch down and turn out onto lightly floured surface.
-Divide dough in half.
-Roll out each piece of dough into 9x18 inch rectangle, spread with
melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon/sugar mixture on top.
-Roll up like a jelly roll, starting at the long side.
-Cut into two-inch slides.
-Place remaining melted butter in bottom of pan, arrange slices in
pan and cover loosely with greased waxed paper.
-Let rise until double (45-60 minutes).
-Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes.
-Remove from oven and immediately insert onto serving tray.
Makes 18 large cinnamon rolls.
NOTE: If you're on a diet, or have high cholesterol, you probably
don't want to have any of these. They have about 3/4 pound of butter
per batch (and margarine just doesn't give anything like the same
result.) But they certainly are delicious! (for extra goodness,
double the cinnamon.)
