BUTTERHORN ROLLS

Yield 36 small rolls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter cut into pieces
1/2 cup warm water (105° F to 115° F)
1/2 teaspoon plus 1/2 cup sugar
1 envelope plus 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
3 large eggs, room temperature
5 1/4 cups (about) all purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup (1stick) butter, melted

Steps:

  • Stir milk and 3/4 cup butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until butter melts. Cool to 120° F if necessary. Combine water and 1/2 teaspoon sugar in small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over; stir to blend. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. In large bowl of heavy duty mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat eggs and 1/2 cup sugar at low speed until blended.

Position 1 rack in bottom third and 1 rack in top third of oven and preheat to 375° F. Brush rolls with melted butter. Bake 15 minutes. Switch top and bottom baking sheets and bake until rolls are golden, about 10 minutes longer. Cool rolls on racks. (can be made ahead. Wrap in foil; store at room temperature 1 day or freeze up to 2 weeks. Rewarm wrapped rolls in 350 F oven about 15 minutes.)

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: This will help the butter stay in small pieces throughout the laminating process, creating flaky layers in the final pastry.
  • Work quickly: The longer the butter is exposed to the warm hands, the more it will soften and become difficult to work with. Keep the dough cold and work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.
  • Be patient: Laminating the dough takes time and patience. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with tough, dense pastries.
  • Chill the dough between turns: This will help the butter firm up again and make it easier to work with. Don't skip this step, or the butter will melt and the dough will become difficult to handle.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls: This will help prevent the dough from tearing and will give you clean, even rolls.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.

Conclusion:

Butterhorn rolls are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weekend treat. With a little patience and effort, you can easily make these rolls at home. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive pastry, give butterhorn rolls a try.
