CINNAMON TWISTS

YUM YUM YUM! That's all I can say. I could seriously eat the glaze plain. Haha

I made these from scratch, like the recipe, but you could use any refrigerated store-bought dough.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c hot water

1 TBS sugar

1 tsp salt

1 TBS butter, cut into pieces

1 egg

4 c flour

1 TBS yeast

melted butter

cinnamon/sugar mixture (1/2 c sugar, 1 TBS cinnamon)

*

Butter Glaze:

1/2 c butter, melted

4 c powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2-3 TBS milk

*

Directions:

In a large bowl, add hot water, egg, 1 c flour, sugar, butter, then yeast. Mix for 2-3 min, then add remaining flour. Knead for about 8-10 min.

*

Divide dough in half, roll each into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. With a pizza cutter, cut dough in half lengthwise and then into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide. (you can get about 18-20 strips from each rectangle) Roll in melted butter, then cinnamon/sugar mixture. Twist, fold in half, then twist ends together. Place in pan & allow to rise for about 20 min.

*

Bake at 400* for 10-12 min or until very lightly golden.

Drizzle with glaze while still warm. Remove from pan.

Makes about 40 twists
