[food] Knot rolls, per my mother’s family
Single recipe (plus/minus 2 doz rolls). These are stupidly tasty, as well as being rather simple, as yeast breads go.
- Combine 1/2 cup boiling water with 1/2 cup Pet (condensed) milk; set aside
- Combine 2 pks or cakes of yeast with 1/4 cup wrist warm water, dash of sugar, set aside to proof
- Cream 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, lightly salt
- Add 2 eggs and beat well
- Add water/Pet milk and stir well
- Add flour a cup at a time (over 3 cups) til ready to knead
- Turn out on floured counter top and knead well
- Leave in covered bowl, let rise til doubled
- Beat down, make into rolls by taking chunks slightly larger than golf balls, twirling them into little logs, and tying the logs into simple knots
- Let rise again
- 10-12 min in 325 oven on a baking sheet with baking parchment, just until they turn golden
- Butter tops of hot rolls, set on wire rack to cool
