Cream dream rolls

2 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¼ cup Warm water
7 tablespoons Sugar
1 pack Active dry yeast
1 cup Whipping cream
3 Egg yolks, beaten
3½ cup All-purpose flour
½ cup Cold butter or margarine, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon Salt
Almond Icing
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
All-purpose flour

Directions

Makes 2½ dozen rolls

Combine water, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and yeast. Stir to dissolve yeast and let stand until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Blend in cream and egg yolks.

Fit processor with steel blade. Measure 2 cups of the flour, butter, 4 tablespoons of the sugar and salt into work bowl. Process on/off 5 or 6 times until butter is size of kidney beans.

Transfer flour-butter mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in remaining 1 ½ cups flour.

Add cream mixture to flour mixture. Stir just enough to moisten flour. (Dough should be crumbly like a biscuit dough, not smooth and satiny like most yeast doughs.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours.

Turn dough onto well floured surface. Cut dough into 4 equal parts.

Roll each part into a rectangle 6x12 inches. Cut each rectangle into 12 strips 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. Shape into knots, circles, figure 8's, spirals, braids or ovals as desired. Place on greased cookie sheets. Let rise in warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Heat oven to 350 F. Prepare Almond Icing. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with cinnamon. Bake rolls until evenly brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet, dip in Almond Icing, then in cinnamon mixture or nuts. Cool on wire rack.
