Ingredients:
2 packages dry yeast |
1/2 cup lukewarm water (105° to 115°) |
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided |
1/2 cup milk, scalded |
1/2 cup shortening |
2 teaspoons salt |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar |
3 tablespoons milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine yeast, lukewarm water, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small mixing bowl; stir well. Let stand 5 minutes.
2. Combine 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 cup scalded milk, shortening, and salt in a large mixing bowl; cool to lukewarm (105° to 115°). Add eggs and 2 cups flour; stir until well blended. Stir in yeast mixture; add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let dough rest 10 minutes.
3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead 10 minutes. Shape dough into a ball; place in a lightly greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
4. Punch dough down; let rest 10 minutes. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 12- x 6-inch rectangle; brush with butter, leaving a 1-inch margin on all sides.
5. Combine remaining 1 cup sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over each rectangle of dough. Roll up jellyroll fashion, beginning at long side; moisten edges with water to seal.
6. Cut rolls into 1-inch-thick slices; place slices, cut side down, in four 8-inch round cake pans. Cover and repeat rising procedure 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
7. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, vanilla, and pecans in a small bowl; mix well. Drizzle over warm rolls, and serve.
