Icebox Butterhorns Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 24 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 cups warm milk (110° to 115°)
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Additional melted butter

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine the milk, butter, sugar, egg, salt, yeast mixture and 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each into a 12-in. circle; cut each into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide ends. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets, point side down. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush with additional melted butter. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 dozen.

Have made at least 10 batches of this formula since before Thanksgiving. They are such a hit with my grandchildren that they only last a couple days. My young grandson comes over spouting "Grandma, we need more rolls!" They are easy, tender and delicious. I made four cuts, rolling 12 inch circles for 48 rolls.

Fantastic recipe! My family and guests loved them! Will add a little more sugar next time to sweeten them just a little.

I have been making this recipe for many years. It is a repeated request at church and family gatherings. My daughter made these one year for her 4-H in the Johnson County Fair and won Grand Champion! They are delicious.

One additional note on my review. ADD 1 TEASPOON MORE OF SALT to recipe. Makes big difference in flavor.

This is a keeper. I made for Christmas and everyone raved. My daughter accidentally placed groceries on top of rising bowl in frig. And next morning when I discovered the error I was sure they were done for,however; the rolls still rose after I shaped them and arranged in pan. Great for breakfast next day with strawberry jam.

thesr are the best tasting rolls- I brought them to the office pot luck and several folks complimented them and asked for the recipe! I did freeze some and reheated for the family dinner and they were great.

Hands down the easiest, best tasting bread I have ever baked! If it tells you how good they are, there were only three of us for Thanksgiving dinner, and they made 2 dozen very nice size rolls. In fact, the next time I make them as dinner rolls, I am probably going to divide the dough into three parts and do 3 dozen smaller rolls. They were so good that we had only 4 rolls left at the end of the meal. Since Thanksgiving I have made this recipe 6 more times, and shaped the portions into Hamburger buns, hotdog buns, and sausage rolls. Tonight I plan on trying it as a doughnut dough. Definitely a keeper!

I made these rolls for Thanksgiving. It was a big plus to make the dough the night before and then put the rolls together in the morning. They were huge, beautiful, delicious rolls and everyone raved about them. Will definitely do them again.

I made these rolls for a holiday party and there were a hit all of my friends wanted the recipe. I only refrigerated the dough for 4 hours and they turned out perfect.

Best recipe for no-knead yeast bread I've ever made and I'm 74. I cut the dough in half and make cinnamon rolls and a loaf of bread. The loaf's texture and flavor reminds me of light and airy store bought bread. It works just as well without the overnight refrigeration. Although I live alone, I've made the recipe 3 times in the past week and shared rolls and recipe with friends and neighbors.

My whole family enjoyed these rolls. They were easy to make. I liked being able to make the dough the day before. It helps to cut down on time the day of the dinner. I cut the recipe in half. In the directions, it says to roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. The dough seemed pretty thick, so I rolled it wider and thinner and was able to get 16 wedges (rolls) that were still on the plump side. Next time, I think I will take the dough (half the recipe) and divide it into two 12-inch circles. The rolls will be smaller and less thick. They were very soft and moist. Will DEFINITELY make again! This one is a keeper!

These were delicious! My husband said they were the best rolls he has ever had. I am planning on making them for Thanksgiving now!
