Ingredients
Sweet Rolls:1 package active dry yeast1/4 cup warm water (110-120 degrees)1/2 cup hot skim milk2 T butter1/8 cup sugar1/8 cup brown sugar1/4 tsp salt1/4 tsp mace1/4 tsp allspice1/2 tsp almond extract1/4 tsp vanilla extract1 egg1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour1 cup whole wheat flourInside of caramel rolls:1 tsp butter2 T brown sugar1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamonCaramel topping:2 T butter2 T light corn syrup3 T brown sugar
Directions
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Whisk butter, sugar, brown sugar, salt, almond extract, mace, and allspice in bowl. Pour hot milk over and blend until butter is melted. Let sit until lukewarm. Add egg, vanilla, yeast mixture. Stir in flour in 1/2 cup increments. Knead on floured surface. Let rise once or twice in greased bowl (spray with Pam and turn over once).

Roll out dough on floured surface to a long rectangular shape. Spread butter over dough. Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar, push down slightly. Roll up and cut into 18 sections (can make 15 larger rolls if desired). Place each section flat into 9x13 pan (which has been prepared with 2 T melted butter, 2 T light corn syrup, and 3 T brown sugar). I usually make 3 rows of 6 (or 5 if you are making 15 rolls). Rise once more and then bake in 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Turn out of pan immediately after removing from oven onto drying rack with wax paper underneath (trust me, this will save you a lot of clean-up!). You should try to let them cool for a few minutes, but it's very hard!!


Calculated at 19 servings because I had one extra "roll" of dough when I cut them.
