Grandma Cox's Cinnamon Rolls

I get 90% of my recipes from the Cox family cookbook. Why? Because my ancestors where awesome cooks!! This recipe for cinnamon rolls brings back many memories of Grandma's house! The base of the recipe can be used for rolls too. Just omit the sugar and cinnamon and the step to roll them into spiral mounds of ooey gooey goodness!
