Cinnamon rolls
|
I had a request :) for my cinnamon roll recipe so I'll post it here. I have made this recipe for around 10 yrs now. Its from a State Fair of Oklahoma cookbook and the recipe is called "Madge's magnificent cinnamon rolls". I've made them for county fairs in Kansas and bread baking competitions. I've made the dough, rolled it out, put the filling in and put it in a bread pan to make cinnamon bread too. That is yummy with a cream cheese frosting type spread on it. :D The dough recipe is: 1/2 cup warm water 2 pkgs yeast or a bit more than a tablespoon (one pkg is 2 1/4 tsp) 1 1/2 cups warm milk 1/2 cup shortening (I use crisco butter flavor) 2 eggs 2 tsp salt 1/2 cup sugar 7 cups of flour or until dough cleans the sides of the mixer bowl. I dont measure things exactly, and I kinda just dump it all in, though im sure there is some reason why the recipe says to put the yeast and water in first and then add the other ingredients.. :D anyway, it works for me. Let dough rise once, then punch down, roll out and spread with a stick of butter, cinnamon and about 2/3 cup brown sugar. You can add nuts if you like them. some of my family likes nuts, some dont, so I sometimes put nuts down half and not on the other. Roll up dough and cut into 1" slices and lay in greased pan. Let rise, then bake at 350* for 35 minutes or so, or until golden brown. While rolls are baking I make a glaze with 1/2 bag powdered sugar (maybe 2 cups or 3?) lemon juice and enough milk to make a drizzle-able type glaze. While the rolls are still warm from the oven I drizzle on the glaze so it runs down into the swirls and makes them yummy and gooey!  I've won ribbons from contests and many many accolades from dh's coworkers over the years. When he worked in taxes, during tax season, on Saturday work days, I often made these for him to take to work....til it almost got to be expected that I would. LOL the recipe makes around 2 dozen, though you can make them really really big if you like and just make a dozen, or you can make them much smaller and make three dozen for a potluck bkfast type thing. |
