Peach Flip (Cinnamon Rolls)

Grandma would use this recipe to make Cinnamon Rolls instead of the Peach Flip. The recipe makes two flips or a lot of Cinnamon Rolls.

Peach Flip

Soften.... 2 Packets Red Star Special Active Dry Yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.

Combine.... in mixing bowl
                    1/2 cup sugar
                    1/2 cup butter
                    1/2 cup hot scalded milk and 2 teaspoons salt.
                    Stir to melt butter, cool to lukewarm (will cook yeast if you don't)

Blend in ..... 3 unbeaten eggs and yeast.

Gradually add.... 5 to 5 1/2 cups flour to form a stiff dough.

Knead..... on floured surface until smooth and satiny. 3 to 5 minutes.
                 place in greased bowl; cover

Let rise....in warm place (85 to 90 degrees) until light and doubled in size. 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Combine..... 2/3 cup sugar
                     2 teaspoons cinnamon and
                     1 can (4oz) walnuts, chopped (optional). Set aside.

Roll Out.....half of dough on lightly floured surface to a 20x10 inch rectangle. Spread with 2 tablespoons soft butter and 1/4 cup peach or apricot preserves. Sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

 Roll Up....Starting with the 20-inch side. Seal edge and ends. Place seam side down on greased cookie sheet, curving ends to make a "U" shaped. With scissors make cut down center 1/3 of the way through roll roll. to within 2 inches of ends, repeat with remaining dough.

 Let rise..... in a warm place until light, about 30 minutes

Spoon.... 1/4 cup peach preserves down center of each (we forgot this step)

Bake..... at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown frost while warm.

Vanilla Glaze: Combine 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla and 2 to 3 teaspoons milk (more if you don't sift sugar).

For Cinnamon Rolls
Follow all the steps above, omit the peach preserve.
Instead of folding roll roll up, then slice dough, place in pan to rise, will get close together. Cook for about 20minutes or until golden brown.

 To make bigger rolls don't divide dough in half.
