Blast from the Past: Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Glaze

Yesterday we brunched at Andy and Mella's. Continuing our Pantry Challenge, I whipped up Cinnamon Rolls from my Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book, First Edition, Fifth Printing c.1950 (adapted by substituting Earth Balance for butter and Maple Sugar for Brown Sugar).

The original recipe didn't include a glaze, but after cubes and I sampled one of the rolls, we both decided that something was missing.

Ingredients (20 - 1 3/4" biscuits)

• 2 cups sifted All Purpose Flour
• 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 Tablespoons Crisco
• 2/3 cup Soy Milk
• 2 Tablespoons Earth Balance, melted
• 1/4 cup Maple Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

For glaze:

• 1/2 cup Earth Balance
• 1/4 cup Maple Sugar
• 2 Tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 1 Tablespoon Coconut Milk
• 2 teaspoons Corn Starch 

Instructions

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Combine Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt.
3. Cut in Crisco finely.
4. Stir in Soy Milk.
5. Round up on lightly floured board.
6. Knead lightly.
7. Roll dough 1/4" thick into 7"x16" rectangle.
   
   
   
   
8. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup Maple Sugar and 1 teaspoon Cinnamon.

10. Spread rolled dough with melted Earth Balance, Maple Sugar, and Cinnamon mixture.

12. Cut into 1/2" slices, placing cut-side down on baking sheet.
13. Bake at 425 degrees about 15 minutes. When done cool for 5 minutes on wire rack.
14. For glaze, on medium low heat, melt Earth Balance. Add Maple Sugar and Coconut Milk. Dissolve Corn Starch in Maple Syrup and add. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
15. Stack rolls in a pie plate. Drizzle glaze over the top.
