oh ANG!!! I want to make the cinnamon rolls recipe you posted awhile back...

cheezz

Well-known member
and I had a couple of questions. First of all, it says "bring the sour cream to a boil"..?! I didn't know you could boil sour cream - is there a reason for this? Also, I need to assemble everything the night before and bake it the next morning. Do you know if this can be all done, cut into rolls, plopped in the baking pan, then refrigerated until the next morning? Is that too long a rising time? And about how many rolls would it make?

THANKS!

Cinnamon Rolls (posted by AngAK)
This was over on the EPI forum. I put the dough in the refrigerator to raise so I could make them later in the day and the dough rose nicely. It indeed can be formed into rolls almost immediately if you don't refrigerate it. I made traditional rolls with it, but the twists sound like a nice change.

bbmom1723 - this recipe is the best. my grandchildren beg me to make them all the time.

1 cup sour cream

1 large unbeaten egg

2 tbsp shortening

1 pkg yeast

3 tbsp.white sugar

3 cups flour

1/8 tsp baking soda

Bring the sour cream to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in the shortening, white sugar and soda. blend well. Cool to lukewarm. Meanwhile dissolve 1 pkg yeast in 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tsp white sugar. Let rise for approximately 10 minutes. Add the egg,yeast mixture and 3 cups of flour to sour cream mixture. Turn out onto slightly floured board. Knead lightly to form a smooth ball. Cover with damp cloth and let stand 5 minutes to tighten up. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick into a rectangle 6"x24" spread entire surface with softened butter and sprinkle half the dough (the long way) with the following mixture:

1/3 cup grown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon (I added some golden raisins) fold other half over. Cut into strips and make twists or make ordinary cinnamon buns. Let rise 1/2 to1 hour bake in moderate oven (350) for 20 to 30 minutes.recipe can be doubled.

spread with icing when warm.

Icing:

1 cup icing sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp butter

2 to 3 tbsp milk.

Mix and spread on top of buns

 
Hi cheezz - I just made a batch of cinnamon rolls Friday night and baked it Sat morning...

I used a recipe from allrecipes.com, and made the dough on Friday might in my bread machine, which does the first rise.

After the dough cycle was complete, I rolled it up, cut it and placed it in the pan, covered it with plastic wrap and placed it in the fridge.

On Saturday morning, I took it out of the fridge at 5:30 am (early riser smileys/smile.gif and baked it at about 8:00. It rises slowly in the fridge, but I find it still needs more time out of the fridge.

I've seen a few recipes where you can bake it straight out of the oven, but I haven't tried it. Actually, Ang's recipe kinda looks like you could bake straight out of the fridge, since the rising times in the recipe are really short.

My son and his friends really enjoyed the rolls!

The recipe I used uses 4 cups of flour (compared to 3 cups in Ang's). I usually roll the dough into a roughly 6x24" rectangle also, and cut it into mine into 20 1" pieces, which fits well in a 9x13" pan (5 rows of 4 each).

Hope this is helpful smileys/smile.gif

Oh wow - these look great too! I don't have a bread machine but I see the notes below

the recipe for how to do it by hand. How long do yours stay soft? I find homemade ones tend to get hard too fast.

 
Not too long - actually they're usually gone before they harden...

I usually make it when I know they'll be a bunch of people to eat them, since it's soo much better warm smileys/smile.gif

But I have kept them a day or two, and always reheated in the microwave before eating.

Sometimes, I'll cut the rolls a little bigger, and try to fit 9 rolls each into two 8x8 pans. Then I'll freeze one pan for later. Just put it in the fridge the night before to thaw it out.

Sorry this is a late response, but I just heated the sour cream in the microwave till hot and added

the other ingredients. It sure doesn't need to boil, just warm enough to melt the shortening and incorporate the sugar, in my opinion. I guess I should edit to add this to my notes. They should raise just fine for you overnight.

 
Thanks Ang - not too late... I have to make them for next Saturday a.m. women's get-together.

 
Ladies! I made the cinnamon rolls AngAK posted and the 'smear' recipe from Sandi...

The were VERY well received at breakfast this morning! I think next time I might throw in a handful of mini chocolate chips too. The cream cheese/butter icing was SO good you could eat it with a spoon - in fact, one lady slathered it on her donut! It would go well with muffins or scones, too.
Thanks to both of you!

Yum cheezz!!!! That looks so good - I want one now!

The dough looks kinda biscuit-like. Or was it more like a bread?

Glad it was a success for you!
