Ingredients
- 2 cups scalded milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 beaten egg
- 1/2 cup margarine or butter
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 6 1/2 cups flour
Preparation
Step 1
Bring milk to scalding point (bubbles around edge of pot) for two minutes. Remove from heat, add sugar, salt, margarine and oil. While this is cooling, prepare yeast (1/2 cup lukewarm water with 1 teaspoon sugar for 10 minutes).
Combine yeast when ready with the above milk mixture. Add beaten egg and flour. Stir in the flour gradually and mix well.
Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes.
Divide into two sections.
Punch down and roll out on floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness and spread with butter cut into strips to desired length and coil. Tuck in the end under the coil.
Let rise or about 20 minutes while preheating oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake until lightly browned. Cool slightly, then ice with cream cheese icing flavored with almond extract or lemon juice.
These butter horns freeze well.
