Betty's Famous Cinnamon Rolls image

Absolutely the best cinnamon rolls, ever. So good, you can't NOT make them, let alone, stop eating them. A little hard work but totally worth it in the end. Substitute walnuts or raisins for pecans if you desire. Very good right out of the oven, or right out of the fridge, place a pat of butter on top and microwave for 20 seconds!

Time 3h35m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 cups pecan halves
4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup warm milk
⅔ cup white sugar
⅔ cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
8 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup butter, melted, divided
⅓ cup white sugar
4 cups confectioners' sugar
⅔ cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple-flavored extract

Steps:

  • Mix 1 1/2 cup white sugar, cinnamon, and pecans together in a bowl; set aside to be used as filling later.
  • Whisk yeast and warm water together in a separate bowl; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon white sugar. Continue whisking until well incorporated. Set aside until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, 10 to 20 minutes.
  • Place warm milk, 2/3 cup white sugar, 2/3 cup melted butter, salt, eggs, and yeast mixture in a stand mixer; mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Add 4 cups flour; mix on medium until completely smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough to a large bowl; knead the remaining 4 cups flour into dough with hands until dough is slightly stiff and sticky, 10 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a large greased bowl; cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove plastic wrap from bowl and punch down dough. Set dough aside to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Roll dough out onto a well-floured surface, forming a 15x20-inch rectangle. Brush entire rectangle of dough with 1/2 cup melted butter; sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar filling. Tightly roll up dough, starting from a long end and pinch edges together to seal. Cut dough, using dental floss, into 15 to 20 slices.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1/2 cup melted butter; sprinkle with 1/3 cup white sugar.
  • Arrange cinnamon rolls close together in the prepared casserole dish. Allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Beat confectioners' sugar, 2/3 cup melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple extract together in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls.

These cinnamon rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
