Swedish Tea Ring
Another one of those very old family recipes that we've been making for as long as I can remember. And now you can, too!!!
1 recipe Foundation Sweet Dough
melted butter
brown sugar
ground cinnamon
Coffee Cake Icing (recipe follows)
chopped nuts (optional)
When dough is light, shape into 2 rectangular sheets about 1/4-inch thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll like jellyroll and shape into rings. Place on greased baking sheet and cut with scissors at 1-inch intervals almost through ring. Turn slices slightly. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk--about 30 minutes. Bake in preheated 375º F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes. While still warm, spread with Icing and sprinkle with chopped nuts (optional).
MAPLE WALNUT ICING
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup soft butter
1 tsp. maple extract flavoring
2 Tbsp. milk (or enough to make icing spreadable)
Mix all ingredients until smooth and fluffy. Spread on warm coffeecakes. Makes enough icing for 2 coffeecakes.
