By Addie

A recipe From Southern Living. Did not see a recipe like this on zaar, in my search.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
• 1/4 ounce dry yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water ( 105-115 degrees)
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter (softened) or
• 2 tablespoons margarine ( softened)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup blueberries ( fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Step 1

Combine 1/4 cup milk, sugar, salt, and 3 tablespoons butter in a saucepan; heat until butter melts.

Cool to 105 degrees to 115 degrees. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl; let stand 5 minutes.

Stir in milk mixture, 1-1/2 cups flour, and egg; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until smooth.

Stir in remaining 3/4 cup flour. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes).

Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour (dough will not quite double in bulk).

Punch dough down; turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Roll dough into a 12- x 8-inch rectangle; spread with 2 tablespoons butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle mixture over rectangle. Sprinkle with blueberries.

Roll dough jellyroll fashion, starting at long side. Pinch seam to seal (do not seal ends). Cut roll into 1-inch slices; place slices, cut side down, in greased 8-inch square pan.

Brush tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Using a fork, gently lift center of rolls to form a peak.

Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, about 40 minutes (rolls will not double in bulk). Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

Combine powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons milk, stirring well. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Wow, these are terrific! Adding the blueberries adds a new dimension to the already great taste of cinnamon rolls. The one I gave my daughter was gone in seconds and she was sadly disappointed that she couldn't have a second immediately. My husband ate two, and he doesn't really like sweets that much. Thanks for sharing!


These were just delicious!! I LOVED the blueberries in the cinnamon rolls! They are not too sweet which is great, and the dough was easy to make and work with. I will definately be making these again!! Thank you for sharing a great recipe!!
