Argh! I am sorry, I printed off this recipe quite a while ago and did not keep the source so if someone comes across this recipe and knows where it originated, please let me know so I can credit them.
This is the first time I have ever made Butterhorns. I thought they were easy, and the results were very gratifying. One “oops” is that I did not have all-purpose flour on hand today and used bread flour. It still produced and edible result.
Butterhorns
2 tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water
3 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup warm milk
5 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
butter to brush rolls with
Mix together the yeast and warm water in your mixer. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the eggs, oil, and sugar. Warm the milk in the microwave (but don’t get it hot…just warm) and add it to the yeast mixture in the mixer. Also, add in the egg mixture. Mix. Add the flour (mixed with the salt), one cup at a time. Mix well. Continue to knead for 5 minutes. (If you don’t use a mixer, you’ll have to knead for about 10-15 minutes) Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until about double in size, about an hour.
After it has risen, separate the dough into 3 even balls. Roll out each ball to about the size of a dinner plate on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 “pizza wedge like” slices. Brush with melted butter. With each wedge, starting at the large bottom, roll them up. Place on a greased (sprayed) sheet pan. Place 3 rolls across and 8 down (24 per sheet). Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let rise again until doubled in size.
Heat oven to 400 degrees and bake for about 11 minutes, or until tops are a golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter.
