FOOD FOR THOUGHT
 Cinnamon rolls from Maui High

By Wanda A. Adams
Advertiser Columnist

In our continuing series on Maui High School recipes, here's their cinnamon roll:

MAUI HIGH CINNAMON ROLL

  • 2 2/3 cups warm water

  • 2 packages dry yeast

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup shortening, melted

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  • 7 cups unsifted flour

  • 2/3 cup dry milk powder

  • 3 teaspoons salt

  • Few drops yellow food coloring

  • Butter

    For cinnamon topping:

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    FOR FROSTING:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, unsifted

  • 2 teaspoons water

    Measure warm water in large mixer bowl. Stir in yeast and sugar. When yeast is dissolved, add melted shortening and butter. Beat in 4 cups flour, dry milk, salt and yellow food coloring, and beat well with mixer for 5 minutes. Add remaining flour by hand. Dough should not be too stiff.

    With very small scoop or large tablespoon, scoop dough into rows in well-greased 9-by-13-inch pan. (You should have 24 rolls.) Combine sugar and cinnamon for topping and sprinkle over. Cover and let rise until doubled. Bake about 25 minutes in 400-degree oven.

    Meanwhile, make frosting by stirring together powdered sugar and water. Mix together until smooth.

    When rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush with butter and top with powdered sugar frosting.

    Make 2 dozen rolls.

    Lots of recipe requests are floating about. Can you help me tie them down?

  • Kamehameha Schools brownies from the 1960s, for Annette Baron, who recalls them fondly.
