BUTTER HORNS

Butter Horns image

This has been a favorite yeast roll in our family. My Mom used to make these, so this brings back good memories of her. I have brought these to potlucks and usually don't take any home with me. Kids will take two or three at one time once they have tasted them. Use them as a dinner roll or ice them with a butter icing, top with crusted walnuts. Humm.....

Time 1h40m

Yield 8-10 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup melted margarine
1/2 cup melted Crisco
1 tablespoon salt
4 cups hot water
4 tablespoons fast rising yeast
13 cups flour

Steps:

I use my Bosch mixer with dough hooks to make these, but you can make them by hand as well.
Into the mixing bowl put yeast, sugar and hot water.
Melt margarine and crisco and add to mixing bowl.
Add about 4 cups of flour, then the eggs and salt.
Add the remaining flour until dough is clean from the sides of the bowl.
This may differ and not necessarily be 9 cups, it could be less or maybe more.
Let the mixer knead the dough a couple of minutes.
Place dough in large greased bowl (tupperware fix-n-mix) and cover.
Then let rise about 20-30 minutes or till lid of tupperware pops off.
Punch down.
Preheat oven to 400 deg F.
Roll dough into about 9" circles, 1/3 inch thick.
Cut each circle into 10- 12 wedge-shaped pieces.
(Wide end should be about 2 1/2- 3 inches wide).
Roll up each wedge, starting at wide end and rolling to the point.
Place on greased pan and finish doing this to all the dough.
Let rise, covered with a clean teatowel and a plastic sheet on top of the towel (like a heavy plastic bag cut open).
The plastic keeps the rolls from drying out as they are rising.
Bake at 400 deg F for about 8- 10 minutes or until golden in color.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your butter horns. Use unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, and fresh yeast.
Proof the yeast correctly: Proofing the yeast is an essential step that allows the yeast to activate and grow. Make sure to proof the yeast in a warm place for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and helps to create a smooth, elastic dough. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise in a warm place: After you have kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will help the dough to develop its flavor and texture.
Shape the dough correctly: The shape of your butter horns is important for creating a beautiful and delicious pastry. Follow the instructions in the recipe carefully to shape the dough into crescents.
Bake the butter horns at a high temperature: Baking the butter horns at a high temperature will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Butter horns are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for special occasions or for a simple snack. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily make delicious butter horns at home.
