Chris's General Conference Cinnamon Rolls
Make dough the day before
1 c water
1 c butter
¾ c sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 c cold water
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2 packages yeast (4 ½ teaspoons yeast)
½ c warm water
7 1/2 c flour
½ c butter, softened
1 c brown sugar
¼ c cinnamon
1 recipe Powdered Sugar Glaze
In a large pot bring 1 cup water to a boil. Add the 1 cup butter, sugar, and salt.
Remove from heat. Add the 1 cup cold water. When mixture is lukewarm, add
beaten eggs. In a separate bow, dissolve yeast in the ½ cup warm water. Allow
yeast to rise about 5 minutes, until foamy. Stir into mixture. Add flour and stir
together. Cover pan with lid and refrigerate overnight. (A 5-quart ice cream bucket
with lid also works well.)
When ready to roll out, divide dough into thirds. Lightly flour surface of bread-
board. Roll dough out into a 12x6-inch rectangle about ½ - thick. Spread each
rectangle with one-third of the softened butter. In a bowl combine brown sugar and
cinnamon. Sprinkle 1/3 of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over surface of
dough.
Roll up jellyroll style and cut into about 12 rounds. Place on greased baking sheet.
Follow same procedure with other two portions of dough. Let raise 2-3 hours. Bake
one sheet at a time at 375 for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread
with Powdered Sugar Glaze while still warm. Makes 3 dozen rolls that disappear
very quickly!!
Powdered Sugar Glaze
½ cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla or 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon almond extract (my secret ingredient)
Cream above ingredients together. Spread over warm cinnamon rolls.
(We love the frosting so I usually double or triple it)
I found this recipe in The Essential Mormon Cookbook years ago and it it a keeper for sure.
