Recipe is from Fleischmann's Yeast. Ingredients:
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope fleischmann's active dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water (100 to 110 f) |
3/4 cup milk |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
3 -3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/3 cup cocoa powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 egg yolk |
1 egg yolk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, softened |
3/4 cup brown sugar |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 cup evaporated milk |
1 cup white sugar |
3 egg yolks, beaten |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted |
1 cup flaked coconut, lightly toasted |
Directions:
1. Stir the yeast into warm water in a large mixing bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Heat milk and butter until warm (100° to 110°F) and add to bowl. Add 1 cup flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes with electric mixer until very smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 8 to 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in a large greased bowl, cover and let rise about 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until dough has doubled in size.
2. Punch dough down. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 15 x 10-inch rectangle. Spread with softened butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over butter. Roll up from long sides like a jelly roll. Cut into 12 equal pieces. Arrange rolls, cut sides up in a greased 13 x 9-inch pan.
3. Cover pan loosely with greased plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, approximately 1 hour.
4. While rolls are rising, prepare frosting. Combine evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks and butter in a large saucepan. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is thick and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Add nuts and coconut. Refrigerate until ready to frost rolls.
5. Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks for 20 minutes.
6. Spread prepared frosting over rolls and serve immediately.
