BUTTER FLAKE ROLLS

Steps:

• Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray and set aside.
• Place the milk, sugar, yeast, flour, egg yolks, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine on low speed for 1 minute. Change the paddle attachment to the dough hook and rest the dough for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add 2 ounces of the butter and mix on low speed. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and you are able to gently pull the dough into a thin sheet that light will pass through, about 8 minutes.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll and shape with your hands to form a large ball. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm, dry place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and roll into a 12 by 12-inch square, about 1/2-inch thick. Melt the remaining 1/2 ounce butter and brush onto the top of the dough.
• Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 (12 by 1-inch) strips. Stack the strips into 2 stacks of 6 strips each. Lay the stacks on their sides and cut each stack into 6 (2-inch) wide pieces. Lay each piece on its side into a prepared muffin tin cup. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, dry place to rise until doubled in size, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the rolls reach an internal temperature of 200 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
• Remove the muffin tin to a cooling rack and cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

EASY SNOWFLAKE BUNS

Steps:

• Grease round pan, 9x1 1/2 inches. Arrange 8 balls of dough evenly around outside of pan; place 4 balls in center. Cover and let thaw and rise in warm place 2 to 3 hours or as directed on package.
• Heat oven to 350° F. Mix flour, butter and hot water. Place in decorating bag with #4 writing tip. Pipe mixture onto center of each ball in snowflake design, 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately lift buns from pan (do not turn upside down). Serve warm.

Steps:

• Place rolls evenly spaced in a sprayed round cake pan.
• Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise*.
• In a small bowl combine butter, flour and hot water and mix until smooth.
• Spoon mixture into a sandwich bag.
• Push down into one corner of the bag and snip off a very tiny corner.
• Remove wrap from risen rolls and draw a snowflake on the top of each roll with the butter mixture.
• Bake at 350°F 15 minutes or until tops of rolls are golden.
• Adjust number of rolls for different pan sizes.

60 MINUTE SNOWFLAKE ROLLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast. Combine the milk, water, and butter in a saucepan and heat until very warm. The butter doesn't need to melt.
• Gradually add the liquid to the dry ingredients and mix at medium speed for 2 minutes; the mixture will be quite wet. Add another 1/2 cup flour and beat at high speed for 2 minutes. The mixture will begin to get thicker.
• Stir in enough of the remaining flour so that you have a soft dough. Knead on a lightly floured board for 5 minutes.
• Put back into the mixing bowl after you've scraped it out, cover and let rise for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Turn the dough out onto your board and cut it into 24 equal pieces; each piece should weigh about 1 1/2 ounces. Shape into rolls by rolling them on the board with your cupped fingers.
• Place the rolls into two greased 9 inch round cake pans. Let rise for 20 minutes, until they look puffy. For snowflake rolls, sprinkle the tops with flour just before baking.
• Bake 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Remove from pan.

SNOWFLAKE ROLLS

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into the pan of your bread machine. Program the machine for Manual or Dough. Adjust the dough consistency as necessary with additional flour or water; the finished dough should be soft and supple.
• Allow the machine to complete its cycle.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into 16 pieces.
• Shape each piece into a ball. Place in a greased 11-inch square pan.
• Sprinkle lightly with flour. Cover and set aside to rise for 1 hour.
• Sprinkle more flour just before placing in the oven.
• Bake rolls in a preheated 375ºF for 16 to 18 min, or until they're light golden brown.
• Serve warm.
