1/2 cup water (70 to 80ºF)
1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut up

Recipe

1. Dough can be prepared in all-size bread machines.

2. To make dough: Measure all dough ingredients into bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. Process on dough/manual cycle.

3. To make filling: In small bowl, combine filling ingredients; set aside.

4. To shape and fill: When cycle is complete, remove dough to floured surface. If necessary, knead in additional flour to make dough easy to handle. Divide dough in half; roll one half to 14 × 12-inch rectangle. Spread half of filling evenly over half of rectangle, covering 12 × 7 inches of dough. Fold dough in half to enclose filling; pinch edges to seal. Cut crosswise into 12 strips. Repeat with remaining dough. Holding ends of each strip, twist in opposite directions 5 to 6 times. Place on 2 greased large baking sheets, curving one end of each strip to form cane; cover. Place 2 large shallow pans on counter; half-fill with boiling water. Place baking sheets on pans; let dough rise 15 minutes.

5. Bake at 375ºF for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.

6. To make icing: In small bowl, combine icing ingredients; stir until smooth. Drizzle on rolls.
