These rock, no doubt about it. My mom makes these every Christmas morning. It takes a couple times making them to figure out the best way to roll the dough and get the right thickness with the right amount of yummy inside.
Cinnamon Rolls
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Makes 2 dozen rolls.
Dough:
1 cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ cup sugar
2 envelopes active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup very warm water
2 eggs
6 cups sifted all purpose flour
¼ cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
Filling:
1/3 cup butter, melted
¾ cup sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze:
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups sifted 10A (confectioners sugar)
2 tablespoons hot coffee
½ teaspoon maple flavoring
1: To make dough: Heat milk, sugar and salt in a small saucepan until sugar melts and small bubbles appear around edge of pan. Cook to lukewarm.
2: Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in very warm water in a large bowl. (“very warm water should feel comfortably warm when dropped on wrist”) Stir until well blended and allow to stand 10 minutes or until bubbles begin to form.
3: Beat eggs into yeast mixture, stir in cooled milk mixture. Beat in flour a little at time, until dough becomes elastic. Beat in melted butter. Work in enough of the remaining flour to make a kneadable dough. (do not add so much flour that the dough stops sticking to your hands.)
4: Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a buttered bowl, turn to bring buttered side up. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft free place 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
5: Punch down dough, turn out onto a lightly floured surface, knead a few times, roll out dough into 2 12x9 inch rectangles.
6: To make filling: Brush dough with half the melted butter, sprinkle with half the sugar and cinnamon. Starting at a short end, roll up jelly-roll style, cut into 12 slices. Place slices, not quite touching, in a well buttered 13x9 inch pan. (repeat with remaining dough)
7: Cover, let rise in a warm place 45 minutes, or until almost doubled in bulk.
8: Bake in hot oven (400 degrees) for 30 minutes, or until rolls are golden, turn out onto cookie sheets immediately.
9: To make glaze: Melt butter in a small sauce pan, stir in confectioners sugar, hot coffee and maple flavoring until well blended. Spread on warm rolls, so that the glaze will soak in. Serve Warm.
