BUTTERFLAKE DINNER ROLLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Put the butter cubes, sugar and salt in the bowl of a mixer.
• Scald the buttermilk over medium high heat on the stove top and pour it over the ingredients in the mixing bowl.
• Once the butter is melted and the mixture is just warm to the touch, combine the yeast and water in a small bowl to activate. I like to add a sprinkle of sugar to the yeast to speed up the activation. Once foamy pour into the mixing bowl.
• Add the egg and 2 cups of the flour.
• With the paddle attachment, mix at a low speed until your ingredients come together. Then mix for 5 minutes at medium speed.
• Add the last cup of flour and mix until no white streaks remain. Remember this is a batter dough so it's not going to come together in a ball like a bread dough.
• Scrape the sides of the bowl down and cover with a dish towel to rise until doubled. This will take a little more than an hour.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, into a rectangle a quarter inch thick. Try to make it a definite rectangle shape the best you can. Spread a light layer of softened butter over the dough (about 1 Tbs. or a little less).
• Using a sharp knife or my preference, a pizza wheel, cut the rectangle of dough into 1 1/2 inch wide strips. They don't have to be exact. You want to get 10-12 strips of dough. You don't want the strips wider than 1 1/2 inches and no less than an inch wide. You just want each strip to be roughly the same width.
• You can either stack 5 strips of dough and cut them into 2 inch stacks. Place each stack in a greased muffin tin. If you had extra single strips of dough just cut them in 2 inch pieces and make stacks of 5 pieces....OR
• You can cut each single strip into 2 inch pieces.
• Stack 5 pieces together and place them in a muffin tin that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. If you have less than 5 pieces left at the end either slip and extra piece in with another roll or just put what's left together.
• Let rise until doubled (about 45 minutes)
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
• Cool slightly before serving.

BUTTER FLAKE ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine water and yeast. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients, including 8 cups of flour.
• Mix well and check dough consistency to determine how much of the remaining flour you should add. (I generally use 9 cups of flour every time.).
• Knead dough for 8 to 10 minutes (or less, if using an electric dough mixer).
• Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. You can refrigerate the dough overnight or leave out and let it rise until the dough nearly doubles in size.
• Turn dough out onto a floured surface and divide in 4 equal parts.
• Roll each section into a 12 to 14 inch circle.
• Brush circle with melted butter and cut (using a pizza cutter) into 12 pie-shaped pieces.
• Roll the slices, starting from the wide end to the small pointed end.
• Place rolls, small end down, on a greased baking sheet.
• Cover with a clean/dry dish towel and let rise for another 2 to 4 hours (depending on the warmth of your kitchen).
• Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter after removing from the oven.
• CINNAMON ROLLS: We usually make 2-3 dozen dinner rolls and use the remaining dough to make dessert! Instead of rolling the dough into a circle, roll the section into a rectangle. Brush with butter. Sprinkle entire rectangle liberally with cinnamon. Cover entire rectangle with a layer of brown sugar. Roll the dough up lengthwise. Brush the roll with butter to seal the edge of the dough to the roll. Use thread or dental floss to cut 12 equal slices. Place the cinnamon rolls, flat side down, in a greased baking dish. Cover with a clean/dry dish towel and allow to rise for 2 to 4 hours (depending on the warmth of your kitchen). Bake at 375 for approximately 15 minutes (or until the rolls appear golden brown). Frost with cream cheese frosting (8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 teaspoons vanilla extract, and several cups of powdered sugar -- I never measure -- beat until the frosting is smooth and thick).
