ICEBOX ROLLS



Icebox Rolls image

I remember my mom making these rolls almost every Saturday so they'd be ready to bake on Sunday for company or someone just dropping by. Although they take a little time to prepare, they're really not all that difficult to make. And there's nothing in the stores that can compare to them! -Jean Fox, Welch, Minnesota

GRANDMA'S YEAST ROLLS



Grandma's Yeast Rolls image

I have adapted these yeast rolls from my grandmother's yeast bread recipe. I have increased the sugar to create a little sweeter roll than Grandma used to make and replaced her refrigerated cake yeast with dried (easier availability). They are delicious served with Danish Lurpak® butter (it's a little tangy, just like Grandma's)! Rolls can be made the night before and reheated, covered in foil, at 300 degrees F for about ten minutes.

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup white sugar, divided
1 ¾ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 ½ (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
6 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour (such as King Arthur®), or as needed
2 teaspoons salt
¼ cup lard, melted

Steps:

  • Dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar into the water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water; let stand 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, the remaining sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Once the yeast has foamed, stir the melted lard into the yeast, then stir the yeast mixture into the flour until a sticky dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. You may need to add additional flour to keep the dough from sticking. Once elastic, cover the dough with the mixing bowl, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with lard.
  • Cut the dough into three equal sections, then cut each section into 8 pieces. Form into balls and place into the prepared baking dish in 6 rows of 4. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tops of the rolls are golden brown and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped, about 1 hour. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before eating.

GRANDMA'S ICE BOX COOKIES



Grandma's Ice Box Cookies image

A family favorite that Grandma always includes in her cookie tins at Christmas. When melting the chocolate, adding in a few tablespoons of creamy peanut butter (or more, depending on your taste) makes the cookies easier to slice after freezing without really flavoring the chocolate. Easy to keep a frozen log in the freezer to bake in a hurry.

GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED YEAST ROLLS



Grandma's Old-Fashioned Yeast Rolls image

This recipe is one of our family traditions. We don't know how old it is, but it is at least Depression Era (no milk, no eggs). It was handed down from my Grandma Pearl Nash. She never wrote down the recipe, always measured by memory and her hands. She developed breast cancer in the early 60's and shortly before she died. My Daddy asked her to measure out all the ingredients so the recipe would not be lost. He carried her into the kitchen, where she carefully placed the ingredients on newsprint paper. My mama (who my kids called Tutu) shifted the ingredients into measuring cups and spoons to record the amounts.

Categories     Roll and Bun Recipes

Time 2h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ½ cups warm water
1 ½ tablespoons active dry yeast
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon salt
¾ cup shortening (such as Crisco®)
7 cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
½ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Stir in sugar and salt until you see foam rising. Add 3 cups flour and 3/4 cup shortening; mix with the dough hook until the mixture is the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
  • Fill a pot with hot (not boiling) water.
  • Remove the mixer bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and a towel. Place the bowl over the pot of hot water, making sure the bottom does not touch the water. Let rise until doubled in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Place the bowl back on your stand mixer and gradually mix in remaining 4 cups flour until dough is smooth and elastic; you may need to add up to 1 additional cup.
  • Heavily grease two 9x13-inch pans with shortening.
  • Divide dough into 24 balls. Place 12 balls into each of the prepared pans; cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour; balls will start out at about 1 1/2 inches in diameter but will rise and touch the sides of the pans.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush melted butter over top.

GRANDMOM'S CINNAMON ROLLS



Grandmom's Cinnamon Rolls image

Kids and adults crave grandma's cinnamon rolls!

Provided by Tana

Time 2h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup milk
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
1 (.25 ounce) package yeast
¼ cup warm water
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 cup white sugar
½ cup melted butter
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Prepare dough: Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until just about to boil, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sugar, shortening, and salt; remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm, about 10 minutes.
  • While the milk mixture is cooling, sprinkle yeast over water and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Pour lukewarm milk mixture into a bowl; add 1 cup flour and beat well. Beat in yeast mixture and egg. Gradually beat in remaining 2 1/2 cups flour. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Test by pressing a finger into the dough; a fingerprint should stay.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch square baking pans.
  • Prepare filling: Mix sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and divide in half. Roll one piece into a 16x8-inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 of the filling over top. Start at the long edge of the rectangle and roll up as for a jelly roll. Cut into eight 1-inch slices and place cut-sides down into one prepared baking pan. Repeat with remaining rectangle.
  • Bake in the oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare frosting by mixing confectioners' sugar and water together in a bowl.
  • Remove rolls from the oven. Transfer to a large serving plate and spread frosting over top.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to grate and will help keep the rolls flaky.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the rolls tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll out and will help prevent the rolls from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even cuts.
  • Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking: This will help them brown evenly.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: The rolls are done baking when they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Conclusion:

Icebox rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for potlucks, picnics, and other gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of icebox rolls that will disappear quickly. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or side dish, give icebox rolls a try.
