BUTTERSCOTCH-GLAZED CINNAMON ROLLS



Butterscotch-Glazed Cinnamon Rolls image

Cinnamon rolls get the grown-up treatment here, with muscular brown sugar used in place of white, and a splash of bourbon in the glaze for bite. The flavor is heavenly, the smell ambrosial - and the recipe is large enough that, if you're not feeding a crowd, you can freeze a few for later in the week.

Time 1h30m

Yield 18 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup milk
400 grams all-purpose flour, more as needed (about 3 1/2 cups)
400 grams dark brown sugar (about 2 cups)
7 grams active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons; 1 envelope)
4 grams plus a pinch fine sea salt (about 1 teaspoon)
7 grams ground cardamom (about 3/4 teaspoon)
1 large egg
14 grams ground cinnamon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
2 grams freshly grated nutmeg (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon bourbon or apple cider
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
115 grams confectioners' sugar (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add milk and heat until just warm to the touch (120 to 130 degrees). Pour into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 100 grams or 1/2 cup brown sugar, yeast, 4 grams or 1 teaspoon salt and cardamom. Slowly beat flour mixture into butter mixture using an electric mixer set with the paddle attachment. Beat in egg, then beat until dough comes together in a ball, about 3 minutes; it should be slightly tacky but not sticky. If it feels very sticky, beat in more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes. Form into ball. Transfer to a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 to 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Cook until the foam subsides and the butter turns a deep nut brown; cool to room temperature.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 150 grams or 3/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
  • Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle about 15 inches long and 11 or 12 inches wide. Using a pastry brush, coat dough with butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over butter. Starting at a long end, tightly roll up dough over filling. Arrange seam side down. Cut the dough crosswise into 18 slices (about 1/2-inch thick).
  • Lightly grease two 9-inch square baking pans. Transfer rolls to pan, cut side up; they will fit snugly. Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees; bake rolls until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes.
  • While rolls bake, place remaining 150 grams or 3/4 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with bourbon and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted, whisk in vanilla, then turn off the heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar. Pour warm glaze evenly over the tops of the warm rolls. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set.

2 grams freshly grated nutmeg (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon bourbon or apple cider
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
115 grams confectioners' sugar (about 1 cup)
Prep paragraph no. 8:
While rolls bake, place remaining 150 grams or 3/4 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with bourbon and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted, whisk in vanilla, then turn off the heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar. Pour warm glaze evenly over the tops of the warm rolls. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set.

In a small bowl, whisk together 150 grams or 3/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt. 5. Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle about 15 inches long and 12 inches wide. Using a pastry brush, coat dough with butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over butter. Starting at a long end, tightly roll up dough over filling.

Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes. 7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees; bake rolls until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes. 8. See paragraph 8 under ingredients.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Make sure your butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before you start mixing. This will help them cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the rolls tough.
  • Roll the dough out to a 12x18 inch rectangle. This will ensure that the rolls are all the same size.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough. If you add too much filling, the rolls will be difficult to roll up.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. Pinch the seam to seal it.
  • Cut the rolls into 12 even pieces. Place them in a greased baking dish.
  • Bake the rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Let the rolls cool for a few minutes before frosting them.
