These would make a nice Christmas breakfast treat! The girls on the Grocery Shrink group were so nice to help me find blueberry doughnut recipes for a special brunch last Saturday. After all that, I decided sweet rolls would be less trouble. This recipe is partly a Better Homes and Gardens Cinnamon Roll recipe with my own changes. They are for a special Mary Kay training brunch tomorrow so I’ll have to let you know how they taste. If looks are any indication, they will be delicious!
The dough recipe:
1 C milk
5T butter
1 T yeast
1/3 C sugar
3 eggs
1 t salt
5 cups flour (I used 2 Cups white and 3 cups whole wheat since this was for guests)
Combine milk and butter in a class measuring cup and microwave until butter is soft or melted (about 120 degrees.) Pour mixture into an electric mixing bowl. Add yeast and stir until softened. Add rest of ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms. Add more flour if necessary and knead for 8-10 minutes. Let dough rise until double.
Combine 3/4 C sugar and 1/4 C flour. Cut in 5T butter until you have coarse crumbs. Fold in 1 C wild blueberries, thawed and drained (I got mine at COSTCO)
Divide dough into 2 balls. Roll each ball into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle. Spread half of the blueberry mixture on each rectangle. Roll up lengthwise. (Roll should be 12″ long.) Use dental floss to cut into 1″ pieces. Place in a greased 9 x 13 pan. Let rise until double. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Frost with milk and powder sugar glaze.
P.S. They WERE delicious!
YUM! I think I just found my Christmas morning breakfast! (Is there a step where you can keep them in the fridge overnight ya suppose?)
Check myfamilyfarm.blogspot.com ’cause I nominate you for an award :-). BTW, there are almost 250 comments under your book give away post. Congrats to you!
Yes, Kelly! You can put them in the fridge overnight. Let that be the final rising and bake in the morning. As a disclaimer, I’ve never tried it that way. But I am personally convinced it would work.
Hi Angela!
You’ve been nominated again!
