This is my Aunt Susan's recipe. She brings them to our Christmas party, and my mouth waters every time I think of those cinnamon knots. They always go quickly! Note: Be sure to read the whole recipe before starting!
Mix together and bring to a boil:
2/3 c. water
1 T. butter
2 T. milk
sprinkle salt
Add:
2/3 c. potato buds, remove from heat and stir until fluffy like mashed potatoes, set aside.
In a liquid measuring cup, to 1/2 c. warm water add:
1 T. sugar
2 T. yeast
Let set until yeast dissolves and rises, about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat 3 eggs together and add:
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
Stir 3/4 c. very HOT water into the potato mixture, put in mixing bowl with 1 c. sifted flour and begin mixing. Add yeast mixture and egg mixture, and beat well. Add about 5 cups flour and 2 t. salt (sifted together). Mix well. Put dough into greased bowl and let rise for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled.
Dinner rolls: Roll out, cut, and let rise in a greased pan until doubled again.
Cinnamon knots: Roll out, cut into 3/4" strips. Dip into melted butter, then roll in a sugar, cinnamon mixture. Tie into a knot and let rise in greased muffin pans until doubled.
Bake 375 for 9 minutes or until lightly browned.
