    • Instructions


    Soak yeast and sugar in warm water. Beat pudding mix in milk and let set 1 minute. Combine pudding, yeast mixture, ¼ cup melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups flour. Mix until smooth. Stir in rest of flour and cover. Let rise in warm place for 1 hour. Roll out and spread with remaining ¼ cup softened butter, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and 1½ tsp cinnamon. Roll up and cut with thread approximately 1 inch thick or less. Place on 12-x-17-inch greased pan and flatten with your hand. Bake at 350º for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool before spreading the icing.
    Note: If the dough ends up too sticky to roll up, put on floured surface and fold over several times, just before
    rolling out.
