Buns:

In small bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar. Stir until
dissolved. Set aside. In large bowl, make pudding mix according to
package directions. Add butter, eggs, and salt; mix well. Add the
yeast mixture; blend. Gradually add flour and knead until smooth,
adding "sprinkles" of flour as needed to control stickiness. Once
the dough is no longer sticky and is soft and silky feeling (like
as baby's behind), the dough is ready. Place in very large greased
bowl.

Cover and let rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down
and let rise again, about 45 minutes. On a lightly floured surface,
roll out to a 34x21" rectangle. Spread 1 cup of melted butter over
surface.

Cinnabon Topping:

In small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle all
over top of surface. Roll up very tightly. With a knife, put a
notch every 2". With string or thread, place under roll by notch
and criss-cross over to cut roll. Makes a nice clean cut. Place on
greased baking pan, 2" apart. Lightly press rolls down with your
hands. Just a little, it helps to hold them together better. Cover
and let rise until double again.

Bake at 350?F for 15 to 20 minutes. Take them out when they just
start to turn golden. Don't over-bake! Frost warm rolls with
Cream Cheese Frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth. Spread on very warm
rolls. Rolls are best when served warm.

Caramel Sticky Buns & Topping:

In a sauce pan or in your microwave oven combine butter, brown
sugar, and corn syrup. Heat and stir until blended. Pour topping
into the bottom of the pan (pans) you are using for the rolls,
place unbaked cinnamon rolls on top on the caramel sauce. Allow to
rise in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour. Preheat
oven to 350?F. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly brown.
After removing pans from oven, cover with foil; invert onto cooling
racks, cool 1 minute, and remove pan. Cool before serving.
