Icebox Butterhorns
Icebox Butterhorns (Taste of Home June/July ’95)
- 1 package (1/4 ounce or 2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons warm water (110 to 115 degrees F)
- 2 cups warm milk (110 to 115 degrees F)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- Additional melted butter
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, sugar, egg, salt, and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Beat in butter and remaining flour (dough will be slightly sticky). Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Punch dough down and divide in half. On a floured surface, roll each half into a 12-inch circle. Cut each circle into 12 pie-shaped wedges. Beginning at the wide end, rolle up each wedge. Place rolls, point side down, 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place, until doubled, about 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush tops with melted butter.
Yield: 2 dozen.
