Herbs And Spices – Betty’s Famous Cinnamon Rolls
These delightful cinnamon rolls are not just any rolls; they’re packed with flavor and topped with a sweet icing that will leave you craving more. Just imagine pulling them out of the oven, the gooey cinnamon sugar melting into the soft dough, and the warm, sweet smell enveloping your kitchen. It’s pure bliss.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, warm the milk until it’s just lukewarm (not hot). Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add in the remaining flour, mixing well until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 16×24 inches). Spread melted butter over the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture evenly over the top.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a few teaspoons of milk to make a smooth icing. Drizzle it over the warm rolls before serving.
- Enjoy your homemade cinnamon rolls warm, fresh from the oven!
With these steps, you’re on your way to creating a sweet treat that’s perfect for any occasion. So gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and let’s get baking!
