2 pkgs dry yeast

In a large bowl, make pudding mix according to package directions. Add margarine, eggs, and salt. Mix well. Then add yeast mixture and blend.

Gradually add flour, knead until smooth. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled. Punch down and let dough rise again.

Roll out on floured cupboard to 34 X 21 rectangle. Take 1 cup soft butter and spread over surface of dough. In bowl mix 2 cups brown sugar and 4 tsp. cinnamon. Sprinkle over the top. Roll up very tight. With a knife notch every 2 inches. Cut with thread or a knife (I used dental floss).

Place on lightly greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Lightly press down each roll with your hand. Cover and let rise until double. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Remove when they turn golden brown. Don't over bake.
