Recipe for Marc . . . with complete and total credit to the jan ‘08 issue of Cooking Light – picture and all.
For my fabulous fellow foodie Marc Schelske – as requested, the cardamom lime sweet rolls . . . and don’t kid yourself, these are one roll = a serving – I dare you to bake them and then stick to one roll – I made them yesterday because my parents were here, and between them and Jason, a full 18 disappeared faster than fresh roadkill in Cheatham County Tennessee . . .
Dough:
1 pck dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1/4 c warm water
1/2 c reduced fat sour cream
1/3 c granulated sugar (i use demerara)
1/4 c unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp salt
1 lg egg, lightly beaten
2 1/3 c flour, divided
Filling:
1/2 c packed brown sugar (light)
1 tbsp lime zest
3/4 tsp ground cardamom
2 tbsp butter, melted, divided
Glaze:
1 c confectioners sugar
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand 5 minutes.
2. Combine in large bowl until well blended, sour cream through egg. Gradually stir yeast mixture into sour cream mixture. Lightly spoon 2 cups of flour and stir until soft dough forms.
3. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes)(I used my stand mixer with the dough hook). Add remaining flour up to 1/3 c a tablespoon at a time until dough is tacky but doesn’t stick to hands.
4. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85) free from drafts, 1 hr or until doubled.
5. To prepare filling, combine zest, brown sugar and cardamom. Divide dough into two equal portions. Roll portion into 12 x 10 rectangle, brush with butter, spread filling evenly. From long edge, roll dough, pinching side seam to seal. Repeat with second portion of dough. Slice each into 12 rolls, place in greased 13 x 9 pan cut side up. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat oven to 350
7. Uncover dough, Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool five minutes on rack, then add glaze.
