Sour Cream Fan Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

• 7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
• 1 cup water
• 6 tablespoons butter, cubed
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine 3-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt and baking powder. In a small saucepan, heat the sour cream, water, and butter to 120°-130°; add to dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 23-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Cut into 1-1/2-in. strips. Stack five strips together; cut into 1-1/2-in. pieces and place cut side up in a greased muffin cup. Repeat with remaining strips. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes.
• Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
