From THE 150 BEST AMERICAN RECIPES. When I made these, I left out half the butter and sugar in the filling, and all of the butter in the topping and they were still absolutely amazing. I used skim milk because that’s all I had, and light butter in the filling. They were well worth making!! Add 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts and 1 1/2 cups raisins in the filling stage if desired.
Total time: 1 hours
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Yield: 18 buns, 18 serving(s)
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees) |
2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon sugar |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 cup milk, heated to lukewarm |
10 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
2 teaspoons salt |
7 -8 cups all-purpose flour (or more) |
16 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled |
1 3/4 cups sugar |
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon |
10 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled |
4 cups confectioners’ sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/4-1/2 cup hot water |
Steps:
- To make the dough, combine water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar in a cup and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the milk, remaining 2/3 cup sugar, butter, eggs, and salt. Stir well and add the yeast mixture. Add 3 1/2 cups flour and beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour until the dough is slightly stiff — it will be sticky.
- Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, adding just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking. Place in a well-buttered bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place free from drafts until doubled in volume, 1- 1/4 hours. Punch down and let rest for 5 minute Roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 15×20-inch rectangle.
- To make the filling, spread half of the melted butter on the dough. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the dough, then sprinkle with walnuts and raisins if using. Roll up like a jelly roll and pinch the edges together to seal. Cut the roll into 12 or 18 slices.
- If making 12 buns, use the remaining butter to coat the bottoms of a 9×13-inch baking pan and an 8-inch baking pan. If making 18 buns, use 2 9×13-inch pans. Sprinkle the pans with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Place the cinnamon bun slices close together in the pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the buns are nicely browned. Let cool slightly before glazing.
- To make the glaze, combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add the water 1 T at a time until you have a spreadable glaze. Spread over buns and serve.
