Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and a pinch of salt. Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add just enough ice water to form a stiff dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Roll & Fill
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out thin. Use a small saucer or cutter to form rounds. Spread each round with softened butter and sprinkle with sugar. Roll each one tightly into a log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Bake the Rolls
Place the rolls in a buttered baking dish. Bake at 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) until lightly browned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
While the rolls bake, heat the milk in a saucepan until very hot (but not boiling). Stir in sugar to taste and add the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Finish & Serve
Once the rolls are lightly browned, pour the hot vanilla milk mixture over them. Return to the oven for 10\u201315 minutes, then serve warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips & Variations
For extra flavor, sprinkle a mixture of dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and finely chopped pecans over the butter before rolling.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a modern twist.
