BUTTERSCOTCH-GLAZED CINNAMON ROLLS



Butterscotch-Glazed Cinnamon Rolls image

Cinnamon rolls get the grown-up treatment here, with muscular brown sugar used in place of white, and a splash of bourbon in the glaze for bite. The flavor is heavenly, the smell ambrosial - and the recipe is large enough that, if you're not feeding a crowd, you can freeze a few for later in the week.

Time 1h30m

Yield 18 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup milk
400 grams all-purpose flour, more as needed (about 3 1/2 cups)
400 grams dark brown sugar (about 2 cups)
7 grams active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons; 1 envelope)
4 grams plus a pinch fine sea salt (about 1 teaspoon)
7 grams ground cardamom (about 3/4 teaspoon)
1 large egg
14 grams ground cinnamon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
2 grams freshly grated nutmeg (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon bourbon or apple cider
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
115 grams confectioners' sugar (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add milk and heat until just warm to the touch (120 to 130 degrees). Pour into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, 100 grams or 1/2 cup brown sugar, yeast, 4 grams or 1 teaspoon salt and cardamom. Slowly beat flour mixture into butter mixture using an electric mixer set with the paddle attachment. Beat in egg, then beat until dough comes together in a ball, about 3 minutes; it should be slightly tacky but not sticky. If it feels very sticky, beat in more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes. Form into ball. Transfer to a large, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 to 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Cook until the foam subsides and the butter turns a deep nut brown; cool to room temperature.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 150 grams or 3/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
  • Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle about 15 inches long and 11 or 12 inches wide. Using a pastry brush, coat dough with butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over butter. Starting at a long end, tightly roll up dough over filling. Arrange seam side down. Cut the dough crosswise into 18 slices (about 1/2-inch thick).
  • Lightly grease two 9-inch square baking pans. Transfer rolls to pan, cut side up; they will fit snugly. Cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees; bake rolls until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes.
  • While rolls bake, place remaining 150 grams or 3/4 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan. Sprinkle with bourbon and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until melted, whisk in vanilla, then turn off the heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar. Pour warm glaze evenly over the tops of the warm rolls. Let rest for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow glaze to set.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cinnamon rolls the best flavor. If you can, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cinnamon rolls tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough will rise best in a warm place. You can place it in a warm oven (turned off) or in a sunny spot in your kitchen.
  • Don't roll the dough too thin: The dough should be rolled out to about 1/4-inch thick. If you roll it too thin, the cinnamon rolls will be too dry.
  • Use plenty of cinnamon sugar: Don't be shy with the cinnamon sugar. It's what gives the cinnamon rolls their classic flavor.
  • Bake the cinnamon rolls until they are golden brown: The cinnamon rolls should be baked until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
