Wicked Cinnamon Rolls – We Love God!

No matter how pious legalism appears on the outside, it dishonors God by revealing a deep-seated distrust of God. Stop and think about it for a minute. Why do men insist upon putting agreements in writing? Why are legal contracts necessary? For only one reason – men are fallible. At best, we tend to forget the things we have committed to do. At worst, we never intended to do them in the first place. A legal contract gives one man a basis for forcing another to do what he has promised. Do you really believe God is so unreliable that we must create a contract which binds Him? All of the biblical covenants are those which were initiated by God, not man. And most of these covenants are unconditional; that is, they are not conditioned by any action on man’s part, but only on the faithfulness of God Himself. Legalism by its very nature implies that God is so untrustworthy that we must be sure to get it down in contractual form. Far better it is to leave blessings in the hand of the One who is gracious.

INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare rolls: In a large bowl, mix yeast into lukewarm skim milk.
Stir gently 1 minute, then mix in granulated sugar, 1 1/2 cups flour
and 2 egg whites. Stir 100 strokes. Cover lightly with plastic wrap;
let rise 30 minutes in a warm place.  Mix in salt and remaining 1 1/3
cups flour. Stir to mix well (dough  will pull away from bowl). With a
little additional flour sprinkled  on dough, knead 5 minutes on a
floured work surface.  Place in large greased bowl, and turn dough to
grease top. Cover  loosely; let rise 40 minutes in a warm place.
Sprinkle flour on  counter top. Place dough on top and sprinkle with
flour to keep  rolling pin from sticking. Roll dough to a rectangle
about 1/4-inch  thick.  Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Gently
roll up dough  jellyroll-style. Slice sections 2 inches wide. To
prepare egg wash:  Let rolls rise on cookie sheet 20 minutes. While
they're rising,  gently brush with an egg white mixed with 1 tablespoon
milk.  Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven 20 minutes until tops are
light  gold. Remove immediately from sheet. Ice heavily with powdered
sugar  icing. Yield: 7 big rolls.  Recipe from: "The Fat-Free Junkfood
