How To Make one hour cinnamon rolls from scratch

• 
  1

  In a large mixing bowl, a stand mixer works very well, combine butter, buttermilk, water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5 minutes.

  Stir in eggs. Add 5 cups of flour and the salt. Using a mixer, use the dough hook, turn on to slow until it starts to incorporate ingredients, then turn up to medium setting. Scrape down sides after a minute or two. If dough is really sticky, add more flour a half cup at a time. Once the dough has come together turn down to lowest setting and let mix for 10 minutes. Dough should be pulling away from bowl easily while it is mixing. Cover with clean towel and let rest 10 minutes. If doing by hand, stir in as much of the flour as you can. Turn out on floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes.

  During this rest time make filling. In a small sauce pan combine with a whisk brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Add butter and vanilla. Cook over low heat while stirring just until it starts to bubble on edges of pan. Remove from heat and set aside.
