Help with Grandma's Cinnamon Rolls!
While I have never had them (she passed before I was born), my family raves about Grandma's cinnamon rolls yet no one can manage to make them. They have tasked me with making them, and I'm stumped as well. Below is her recipe, as written (the picture was just too hard to read):
In large bowl put 1 pkt yeast, T sugar, 1/4 water (warm)
Heat 1 cup milk to extra warm; add 1 cup sugar 1/2 cube butter. Let cool slightly.
Pour over yeast
With wooden spoon pour in flour to make a soft dough - add vanilla or lemon extract. Cover.
Let rise until double.
Pour onto flour board. Mix with rubber spoon. Cover.
Let rise for 20 minutes.
There is more of course, but this is the important part as no one can get past the first rise because, well, it never rises. My guess is that she left out kneading after all of the ingredients are mixed before the first rise, but that seems like such a major step to omit that I have to wonder if she knew something we don't? She does omit some other major things too though...like how much flour (this is the full recipe, no separate ingredient list!).
Anyone an expert in interpreting Grandma recipes?! And any ideas why she specifically says to use a wooden spoon in one place and a rubber one in another?
