Directions

1. Step1
   Combine milk, butter, sugar, eggs and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine yeast and warm water; let rest 2 to 3 minutes. Combine yeast mixture with milk mixture, stirring to mix well.
2. Step2
   Gradually add 4 cups flour. Knead with remaining flour for about 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in large greased bowl, cover and let rise until double (about 1 to 1-1/2 hours).
3. Step3
   For caramel bottom, combine whipping cream, 2 tablespoons butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until melted. Pour into bottom of a greased 9-by-13-inch baking pan; set aside.
4. Step4
   Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough into a tight cylinder. Pinch dough together to close the cylinder, securing the seam. Stretch to 18 inches long. Cut into 12 evenly sized rolls with a serrated knife.
5. Step5
   Place rolls in prepared caramel-filled baking pan. Cover with greased plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until the rolls have nearly doubled in size and are pressed against one another, 45 to 60 minutes.
6. Step6
   Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are golden.
7. Step7
   For frosting, combine powdered sugar, margarine, evaporated milk and almond extract with mixer until smooth. Top slightly cooled cinnamon rolls with frosting.
8. Step8
   *To scald milk, heat milk, stirring frequently, over medium heat until temperature reaches about 180 to 185 degrees.
