• ½ cup butter 
• ½ cup sugar 
• 2 cups Oak Farms Milk 
• 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast 
• 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour 
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• ½ teaspoon baking powder 
• ½ teaspoon baking soda 
•  1 ½ cups firmly packed brown sugar 
• 1 cup butter, softened 
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 

Buttercream 

• ½ cup butter, softened 
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened 
• 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) whiskey (optional) 
• ½ teaspoon maple extract 
• 3 to 3 ½ cups powdered sugar 

How to

1. To make cinnamon rolls, in 4-quart saucepan melt ½ cup butter over medium heat.  Stir in sugar and milk; continue cooking until just begins to simmer (bubbles around edges of saucepan).  Remove from heat; let cool to warm (110 to 115°F) about 30 minutes. 
2. Sprinkle yeast over warm milk mixture.  Let stand 1 minute.  Stir in 4 cups flour. 
3. Cover saucepan and let rest in warm, dry place 1 hour. 
4. Stir in remaining ½ cup flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.  Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes. 
5. Meanwhile, in small mixer bowl beat together brown sugar, 1 cup softened butter and cinnamon until thick paste forms; set aside. 
6. Butter bottom and sides of 2 (13×9-inch) baking pans; set aside. 
7. Place chilled dough on floured surface.  Sprinkle top of dough with a little more flour; roll dough into 15×12-inch (about ½-inch thick) rectangle. 
8. Spread dough with brown sugar and butter mixture to within ½-inch of edge.  Beginning with 15-inch edge, roll dough up tightly into log.  Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal edge.  Log will be about 16 inches long. 
9. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut roll into 16 (approximately 1-inch) slices.  Place 8 rolls in each prepared pan.  Cover with clean kitchen towel; let rest in warm spot 30 minutes. 
10. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. 
11. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.  Let cool 10 minutes before frosting. 
12. Meanwhile, in large mixer bowl beat together ½ cup softened butter, cream cheese, whiskey and maple flavoring until smooth and creamy.  Beat on low speed, slowly adding powdered sugar, until smooth and creamy.  Frost warm rolls, serve immediately
