These are some good old fashioned cinnamon rolls, Texas style....yee haw!! Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons shortening |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
1/2 cup milk |
3 tablespoons butter, softened, divided |
4 tablespoons brown sugar, divided |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Sift flour before measuring. Add sugar, baking powder and salt and sift again into a large mixing bowl. Cut shortening into dry ingredients.
2. In a small bowl, mix together egg and milk, then add mixture, a small amount at a time, to flour/shortening mix. Handle lightly.
3. When dough is formed, roll out on floured board to 1/8 inch thickness.
4. Spread dough with 1 tbsp of the softened butter, sprinkle with 2 tbsp of the brown sugar and the 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Roll tightly, beginning at the edge nearest you. Cut into 2-inch slices.
5. Cream together the remaining 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp brown sugar. Spread onto the bottom of a heavy baking pan that will hold the slices fairly close together.
6. Place slices into the pan and bake at 375 for 18-20 minutes.
7. Because this recipes does not have a topping, you can make you own. I make one by mixing melted butter with powdered sugar. Sometimes I add raisins and/or chopped nuts.
