Butter Horns image

This has been a favorite yeast roll in our family. My Mom used to make these, so this brings back good memories of her. I have brought these to potlucks and usually don't take any home with me. Kids will take two or three at one time once they have tasted them. Use them as a dinner roll or ice them with a butter icing, top with crusted walnuts. Humm.....

Time 1h40m

Yield 8-10 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup melted margarine
1/2 cup melted Crisco
1 tablespoon salt
4 cups hot water
4 tablespoons fast rising yeast
13 cups flour

Steps:

  • I use my Bosch mixer with dough hooks to make these, but you can make them by hand as well.
  • Into the mixing bowl put yeast, sugar and hot water.
  • Melt margarine and crisco and add to mixing bowl.
  • Add about 4 cups of flour, then the eggs and salt.
  • Add the remaining flour until dough is clean from the sides of the bowl.
  • This may differ and not necessarily be 9 cups, it could be less or maybe more.
  • Let the mixer knead the dough a couple of minutes.
  • Place dough in large greased bowl (tupperware fix-n-mix) and cover.
  • Then let rise about 20-30 minutes or till lid of tupperware pops off.
  • Punch down.
  • Preheat oven to 400 deg F.
  • Roll dough into about 9" circles, 1/3 inch thick.
  • Cut each circle into 10- 12 wedge-shaped pieces.
  • (Wide end should be about 2 1/2- 3 inches wide).
  • Roll up each wedge, starting at wide end and rolling to the point.
  • Place on greased pan and finish doing this to all the dough.
  • Let rise, covered with a clean teatowel and a plastic sheet on top of the towel (like a heavy plastic bag cut open).
  • The plastic keeps the rolls from drying out as they are rising.
  • Bake at 400 deg F for about 8- 10 minutes or until golden in color.
