Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Roll

Baked Cinnamon rolls are a treat at our house. I acquired a recipe for Butter Horn Pecan Rolls in a class i was taking at the YWCA many years ago. I've used the recipe for cinnamon rolls.

BUTTER HORN PECAN ROLLS

3 Eggs, beaten

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shortening, melted     I use butter

2 pkgs yeast, I use 5 teaspoons of loose yeast

1 cup scalded milk

1/4 warm water

4 cups flour

METHOD: Soften yeast in 1/4 c warm water. Mix beaten eggs, salt, melted shortening, sugar and cooled milk. Beat in 1-1/2 cup flour.

Add softened yeast. Beat. Add the rest of the flour. Beat. Let rise in a greased bowl, cover with a little shortening. Cover the bowl with a towel.

When doubled I roll out on a floured surface and make a rectangle with the dough. You may have to divide the dough in half and roll out half of the dough. The rectangle or oval should be approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Spread the rolled out dough with softened butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar or sugar. I used Sucanat. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Roll up to have a long roll. I use sewing thread doubled to cut my roll into rolls 1-2 inches thick.  Be sure to keep track of your string. I lost mine in the dough and had to find it. Line up in a pan to allow for rising. I had the caramel sauce in the pan before putting in the rolls.

BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE

1/4 cup oleo or butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons cream   I used milk

1 tablespoon corn syrup    I did not use this and recipe was fine.

Melt  above ingredients and pour equal amounts in greased muffin tins with pecans. 

Bake Cinnamon Rolls at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. I checked after 15 minutes 

Plain Butter Horn Rollls bake 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
