Instructions

Watch how to make this recipe.

Heat the milk, vegetable oil and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat to just below a boil. Set aside and cool to warm.

Ingredients you will need

Vegetable Oil

Sugar

Milk

Equipment you will use

Sauce Pan

Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit on the milk for 1 minute.

Ingredients you will need

Yeast

Milk

Add 8 cups of the flour. Stir until just combined, and then cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside in a relatively warm place for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the towel and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt and the remaining 1 cup flour. Stir thoroughly to combine. Use the dough right away, or place in a mixing bowl and refrigerate for up to 3 days, punching down the dough if it rises to the top of the bowl. (The dough is easier to work with if it's been chilled for at least an hour or so beforehand.)

Ingredients you will need

Baking Soda

Dough

All Purpose Flour

Salt

Equipment you will use

Kitchen Towels

Mixing Bowl

To assemble the rolls, remove half the dough from the pan. On a floured baking surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 30 by 10 inches. The dough should be rolled very thin.

Ingredients you will need

Dough

Roll

Equipment you will use

Frying Pan

Pour 3/4 cup to 1 cup of the melted butter over the surface of the dough. Use your fingers to spread the butter evenly. Generously sprinkle half of the ground cinnamon and 1 cup of the sugar over the butter. Don't be afraid to drizzle on more butter or more sugar! Gooey is the goal.

Ingredients you will need

Ground Cinnamon

Butter

Spread

Dough

Sugar

Now, beginning at the end farthest from you, roll the rectangle tightly towards you. Use both hands and work slowly, being careful to keep the roll tight. Don't worry if the filling oozes as you work; that just means the rolls are going to be divine. When you reach the end, pinch the seam together and flip the roll so that the seam is face down. When you're finished, you'll wind up with one long buttery, cinnamony, sugary, gooey log.

Ingredients you will need

Roll

Slip a cutting board underneath the roll and, with a sharp knife, make 1/2-inch slices. One "log" will produce 20 to 25 rolls.

Ingredients you will need

Roll

Equipment you will use

Cutting Board

Knife

Pour a couple of teaspoons of melted butter into disposable foil cake pans and swirl to coat.

Ingredients you will need

Butter

Equipment you will use

Aluminum Foil

Place the sliced rolls in the pans, being careful not to overcrowd. (Each pan will hold 7 to 9 rolls.)

Ingredients you will need

Roll

Equipment you will use

Frying Pan

Repeat the rolling/sugar/butter process with the other half of the dough and more pans.

Ingredients you will need

Butter

Dough

Sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cover all the pans with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise on the countertop for at least 20 minutes before baking.

Equipment you will use

Kitchen Towels

Oven

Remove the towel and bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Don't allow the rolls to become overly brown.

While the rolls are baking, make the maple icing: In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, butter, coffee and salt. Splash in the maple flavoring.

Ingredients you will need

Maple Flavoring

Powdered Sugar

Butter

Coffee

Icing

Maple Syrup

Roll

Milk

Salt

Equipment you will use

Whisk

Bowl

Whisk until very smooth. Taste and add in more maple, sugar, butter or other ingredients as needed until the icing reaches the desired consistency. The icing should be somewhat thick but still very pourable.

Ingredients you will need

Butter

Icing

Maple Syrup

Sugar

Whisk

Remove the pans from the oven. Immediately drizzle the icing over the top. Be sure to get it all around the edges and over the top. As they sit, the rolls will absorb some of the icing's moisture and flavor. They only get better with time... not that they last for more than a few seconds. Make them for a friend today! It'll seal the relationship for life. I promise.
