CINNAMON TWIST ROLLS 
3/4 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
2 3/4 to 3 c. all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. yeast
1 tsp. maple or vanilla flavoring (optional)
1 egg

1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. chopped nuts
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. maple or vanilla flavoring
1/4 c. butter

1 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. butter
1-2 tbsp. milk or water
1/2 tsp. vanilla or maple flavoring

In small saucepan, heat milk and butter until warm. In large mixer bowl, blend warm liquid, 1 cup of the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, flavoring and the egg at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead on floured surface for 2 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place, about 45 minutes.

In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, nuts, cinnamon and flavoring and set aside. Grease 12-inch pizza pan. Punch dough down, divide and shape into 3 balls. On floured surface, roll or press 1 ball of dough to cover bottom of pizza pan. Brush dough with about 1/3 of the melted butter and 1/4 cup of cinnamon-nut mixture. Repeat layers of dough and cinnamon-nut mixture.

To shape, place a glass about 2 inches in diameter in center of dough. With scissors, cut from edge to the glass, forming 16 pie-shaped wedges. Twist each wedge 5 times. Remove glass. Cover; let rise about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 18-22 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and remove from pan.

In small bowl, blend remaining ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
