Homemade Cinnamon Rolls - milk

Method

• Scald milk; stir in sugar, salt and butter so that the sugar is dissolved and the butter melts.
• Cool to lukewarm.
• Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of water and add to the milk mixture.
• Add 1/2 of the flour and the egg and beat by hand until smooth.
• Add the rest of the flour which makes a fairly stiff batter.
• Cover tightly and cool for 3 hours.
• Using 1/2 of the dough, knead it several times and roll to an oval shape.
• Spread the top with softened butter (you choose amount) and sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar on top of the butter.
• Roll up jelly roll style and cut into 1/2-inch slices.
• Place in a greased pan and allow to rise for an hour or so.
• (At this point, they may be cooked or placed in the refrigerator until needed.)
• Place rolls into a cold oven when ready to be baked.
• Turn oven to 350° and cook until lightly browned (about 30 minutes).
• Top with a simple powdered sugar icing.
• Because this dough contains an egg, use the dough within 3 days.
