Recipe Introduction
Mom used to make these once a year only: Christmas.
We would get up on Christmas morning, open our presents and have homemade hot cocoa and cinnamon rolls.
List of Ingredients
- Rolls:
- 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 pkgs. yeast
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 eggs- ROOM TEMP!!!!!
- Sauce:
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
Instructions
- In large bowl, thoroughly mix 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, salt and the yeast. Set aside.
- Combine milk and butter in pan. Heat on low heat until very warm (120F to 130F). Gradually add liquid to dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed. Scrape bowl occasionally.
- Add eggs and 1 cup flour. Beat at high speed for 2 minutes, scraping occasionally.
- Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Turn out on floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic; 8 to 10 minutes. Place in warm place free from draft until doubled in bulk (cover with towel), approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Punch down; turn onto lightly floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle.
- Spread butter over dough and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
- Roll into a log and slice.
- Butter 9x13 inch cake pans.
- Sauce:
Melt butter. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup on medium low heat. Heat until sugar is dissolved: DO NOT BOIL!! Stir often.
- Pour into pans.
- Put sliced rolls on top. Push down middles with finger. Cover and let rise until double; 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bake in oven at 350F for 25 minutes. Turn out onto waxed paper and spoon sauce back onto rolls.
