Description

Icebox Butterhorns are a classic comfort food that combines the richness of butter with the tender crumb of yeast dough. These easy-to-make rolls feature a simple dough that rests in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the gluten to relax. The result is a soft, flaky pastry that is slightly sweet and deeply satisfying. Perfect for weekend brunches, holiday mornings, or as an accompaniment to hot cocoa, these butterhorns bring a touch of homemade elegance to your table. With minimal kneading required, they are an accessible treat for bakers of all skill levels, offering a delicious reward for a little advance planning.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
  2. Add the milk, sugar, beaten egg, salt, and 3 cups of the flour; beat until smooth.
  3. Beat in the melted butter and the remaining flour until a slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. Do not knead the dough.
  5. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Punch the dough down and divide it in half.
  7. On a floured surface, roll each half into a 12-inch circle.
  8. Cut each circle into 12 pie-shaped wedges.
  9. Beginning at the wide end of each wedge, roll up tightly to form a horn.
  10. Place the rolls, point side down, 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
  11. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  12. Bake at 350&# 194;°F (177ðC) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. Immediately brush the tops with additional melted butter.
