Tried this recipe today and best I have ever made or tasted. Enjoy!!!
Secret seems to be buttermilk and raising in a warm oven covered by a moist towel.
Best Ever Cinnamon Rolls~
Heat oven to 200 degrees and turn oven off.
In small bowl place
- 1/4 C warm water
- add yeast (one package)
- Stir to dissolve.
In large bowl add
- 4 Cups flour
- 1/2 C sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- Mix flour, sugar, salt
- 1 cup warm milk
(add 1 tsp lemon juice to the milk to make buttermilk)
Hint~ buttermilk makes a lighter, softer dough. - 1/4 cup softened butter
- Add soft butter and yeast mixture to the one cup of warm milk
Directions
- Mix the liquid mixture with the dry ingredients.
- Mix well and knead until smooth.
- Put in a greased bowl and let rise in warmed oven (cover with damp towel ) for about an hour.
- Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface
- Roll out into a rectangle.
- Spread with softened butter and then sprinkle generously with brown sugar and cinnamon sugar.
- Roll up and cut into 14 rolls.
- Place in two greased 9 inch pans and let rise in the warmed oven again.
- Remove raised rolls from oven and heat oven to 400 degrees and then bake for 12 to 14 minutes until very lightly browned
Topping
Add 1/4 softened cup butter and one teaspoon vanilla to about 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. Add a small amount of milk to make a paste that is thin enough to spread easily. Spread the topping on the rolls while they are still hot. Devour while warm!!
