The baking tradition is an important one in the state of Arkansas. This recipe is a perfect example: It
belonged to Trish's grandmother, who gave it to Trish's mom, who gave it to Trish. These rolls are wonderful
for breakfast, for brunch, or as an anytime treat. |

For dough: Melt butter in heavy small skillet over
medium-high heat. Add milk, sugar, and salt and
bring just to simmer. Pour into bowl of heavy-duty
mixer fitted with dough hook. Cool to lukewarm.
Meanwhile, sprinkle yeast over ⅓ cup warm water
in small bowl. Stir to dissolve.
Beat yeast mixture and eggs into milk mixture. Mix in
potato flakes. Beat in flour 1 cup at a time. Transfer
dough to floured work surface and knead until
smooth. Transfer dough to oiled bowl; turn to coat.
Cover with damp cloth and let rise in warm draft-free
area until doubled in volume, about 1½ hours.
For filling: Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in bowl.
Melt butter in heavy small saucepan. Roll dough out
on lightly floured surface to 4x9-inch rectangle |
about 1 inch thick. Brush dough generously with
melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar
mixture. Beginning at 1 long end, roll up dough
jelly-roll style. Cut into 12 equal pieces. Arrange on
baking sheets. Let rise in warm draft-free area until
doubled in volume, about 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush roll tops with
remaining melted butter. Bake until cooked through
and slightly golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to
rack and cool completely.
For frosting: Using electric mixer, beat all
ingredients until smooth. Drizzle rolls with frosting
just before serving. |
