I will tell you how I make them but I don't measure everything. I start by adding 1 cup of boiling water from my kettle in a large bowl. I add 1 cup of cold milk from the fridge, and this makes the right temperature to add 4 tsp. of yeast or 2 of the little square packages. I put in one package of Sweet and Low ( for some reason yeast really likes it and about 1/4 cup white sugar)
While the yeast proofs ( the top gets bubbly) I heat 1/2 cup of bevel margarine in the microwave just until it melts and let it cool to room temperature. I beat up 1 egg in it and add it to the proofed yeast and mix it up. Do not add hot to your yeast or you will kill it.
I start adding all purpose flour and mix it with the spoon until it gets thick enough to start kneading it in the bowl. I knead until I get a nice ball and all the bits are used up off the bowl. I grease the ball with a bit more Becel margarine and leave it in the bowl with a fresh tea towel over it to let rise. Once it has doubled in size, I turn it out onto a long piece of floured wax paper. I roll it out into about a 12 X 24 inch rectangle using more flour as needed.
I spoon more Becel on the surface and spread it with the spoon until the surface is covered except about 1/2 inch along on long side of the rectangle. Then I sprinkle golden brown sugar over the Becel until it is covered. I cover the brown sugar with cinnamon. Using the wax paper, I start rolling the rectangle from the sticky side up to the 1/2 inch edge without the coating. I pinch the 1/2 inch seam into the roll and it is ready to cut into 24 1 inch slices.
I press the slices a bit into 2 well Beceled 9X13 pans and cover with same tea towel to let rise until double in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes until the tops start to brown. I turn them out when they come out of the oven on to foil and my cooling raccks while the sugar is still warm for easy clean up.
This makes 2 dozen so cut amounts in half if you only want 1 pan, sorry I don't have exact measurements.
