½ cup melted butter

2 cups warm milk

½ cup sugar

1 packet active dry yeast

5 1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

​

FILLING

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

3 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

​

Maple Bourbon Frosting

2 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup maple syrup

4 tablespoons whipping cream

2 tablespoons bourbon

4oz cream cheese softened ​

​

Directions

​

Preheat oven to 350.

​

Make sure your butter and cream cheese are good and softened. You can probably leave your butter out overnight just to make sure. You'll be alright, it won't kill you.

​

Butter a large cast iron skillet with a bunch of butter.

​​

In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110ËšF (37-43ËšC). If it is hotter, allow to cool slightly.

​

Add the yeast and let hangout for 1 minute.

​

Add 4 cups of the flour to the milk mixture and mix with until just combined.

 

Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place for 1 hour to let it rise like a phoenix.

​

After 1 hour if the dough hasn't risen your milk may have been to hot and you may have killed your yeast and you may be screwed. Go to Cinnabon.

​

Remove the towel and add the remaining 1 1/4 cup flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.

​

Knead that dough gently.

 

Add some more flour if the dough too dang sticky (sticking to your hands and surface) and knead a bit more.

​

Roll the dough into a large rectangle, about ½-inch thick making sure the corners are nice and sharpened.

​

Spread that nice, soft butter evenly over the dough.

​

Place the sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon in bowl and mix to combine. 

​

Sprinkle the dough evenly with the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.

​

Roll up the dough into a big ass log, and pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down.

​

Cut the log in half, then cut each half in half until you have about 12 rolls.

​

Beginning with the largest roll in the center and working your way out, place the rolls in the cast iron pan.

 

Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

 

​Unwrap them buns and place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until goldeny brown.
