All rolls should fit snuggly onto a very large, greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 425 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

Icing

Mix with hand mixer:
1 package (8 oz) of very soft cream cheese
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup milk (this may vary, add milk slowly until a medium thick consistency)

Pour icing over rolls as soon as they come out of oven.


2 cups flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbl (2 oz) butter, melted
3/4 cup buttermilk

filling:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbl cinnamon
tiny pinch of cloves

glaze:
2 tbl cream cheese
2-3 tbl milk
1 cup powdered sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Grease an 8-inch square pan. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a glass measuring cup combine the butter and buttermilk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Fold the mixture together in a few swift strokes, stirring only until combined. Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured work surface and roll to a rectangle about 10x18 inches.
2. Combine the filling ingredients and sprinkle them over the surface of the dough. Starting from the short side, gently roll up the dough. Cut the dough into 2 inch lengths, you should have about 8-9 rolls. Snuggle the rolls together in the prepared dish and bake for 20-25 minutes.
3. Stir together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the rolls. - See more at: http://desertcandy.blogspot.com/2007/07/cheater-cheater-sticky-bun-eater.html#sthash.bRG9Wmpw.dpuf
