BUTTERSCOTCH-GLAZED CINNAMON ROLLS
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.

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.

COFFEE-GLAZED CINNAMON ROLLS
From Cooking Light's 1991 Annual Cookbook. These sound so amazing! You kind of need a large workspace when making these. I would suggest a jellyroll pan to roll the dough out on. Prep and cook time do not include the approx. 3 hours of rising time, but the 2 dozen rolls you get at the end should be worth the wait and work.

Tips for Perfect Glazed Cinnamon Rolls:
- Activate the Yeast Properly: Always check the expiration date of your yeast and activate it in warm milk or water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This ensures that the yeast is alive and will help the dough rise properly.
- Knead the Dough Thoroughly: Kneading the dough helps develop gluten, which gives the rolls their chewy texture. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This step is essential for achieving light and fluffy cinnamon rolls.
- Roll the Dough Evenly: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Make sure the dough is rolled evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Don't Skimp on the Cinnamon Sugar Filling: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the rolled-out dough. The more filling, the more delicious your cinnamon rolls will be!
- Cut the Rolls Evenly: Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the rolls into even pieces. This helps them bake evenly and look uniform.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the cinnamon rolls at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
- Make the Glaze While the Rolls Are Baking: In the meantime, prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. This allows the glaze to cool slightly before drizzling it over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Glaze the Rolls Immediately: As soon as the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, brush them with the prepared glaze while they are still warm. This helps the glaze set and gives the rolls a beautiful shiny appearance.
Conclusion:
With careful attention to detail and a bit of patience, you can create mouthwatering glazed cinnamon rolls that are sure to impress your family and friends. These sweet and sticky treats are perfect for a special breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Enjoy the delightful aroma and irresistible taste of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, topped with a luscious glaze that complements their fluffy texture. Remember to experiment with different variations and toppings to discover your own unique cinnamon roll recipe.
