Butter (And I Mean Butter) Horns


This is a family recipe that we make by the truck load during the holidays. They are great next to some turkey and make awesome turkey sandwiches the next 2 weeks. The flaky, buttery crust will have your mouth watering, but try to save some for everyone else. Here's what you need.

1 tsp dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105°-110°F)
1/2 cup melted butter
8 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk
4- 4 1/2 cup flour

Combine yeast and warm water and let it stand for 5 minutes. Melt your butter in a medium saucepan and add milk immediately and remove from heat. Blend your sugar, eggs, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add the milk and butter mixture. Slowly  incorporate the flour to make soft dough. Cover and let it rise until double (about an hour).

Turn the dough onto a floured board. Make sure it's floured or you're gonna have a bad time. Knead it slightly to handle. Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a circle 12-14 inches in diameter. Spread 4 tbsp of melted butter and cut, pie fashion, into 16 pieces. Roll each piece loosely from large end to pointed tip. Let rise until doubled. Place it in a preheated 350° oven for 12-15 minutes.

Enjoy!
