I always have to double the recipe for these buttery rolls because they never last long. You can shape them any way you like, but to me, a crescent shape is so pretty. —Kelly Kirby, Westville, Nova Scotia

Butterhorns Recipe
  • Prep: 35 min. + rising Bake: 10 min.
  • Yield: 24 Servings
35 10 45

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon plus 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water. Add the butter, milk, egg, salt, remaining sugar and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. 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 the 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 12-in. circle; cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide end and place point side down 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 dozen.

I've made these many times and every time I get the same positive response! They are absolutely delicious!

These are easy. I did have a bit of trouble with them unrolling in the oven so some of them weren't as pretty as I would have liked, but they were tasty.

Wow, so simply. Everyone thinks I worked hard on these. Can't wait to try cinnamon rolls.

I was a little intimidated to try this recipe but I'm so glad I did! The dough was so easy to work with and the rolls turned out beautiful and delicious. Next time I will double the recipe and put some in the freezer- they will be much requested!

Best ever bun recipe! I've used it for butterhorns, cinnamon buns and tray buns. Yummy, yummy, yummy!

I have made these rolls constantly since getting the August/September 2010 issue - my absolute favorite! And I, like Kelly Kirby, must double the recipe! I have even made cinnamon rolls with the dough, yum!!! Off to make some more...

My entire family loves these. I even forgot to add the 1/3 cup of sugar one time and it was still really good!
