Title: Sirupsruller Syrup Rolls
Ingredients:
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– Pinch of salt
– 1 cup dark corn syrup
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp ground ginger
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, sour cream, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour until it is workable.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
4. In a separate saucepan, combine the dark corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and ginger. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Remove the syrup mixture from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
6. Spread the syrup filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Carefully roll up the dough from the long side, creating a tight log of dough filled with the syrup mixture.
8. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake the Sirupsruller Syrup Rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
10. Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These delicious Syrup Rolls are best enjoyed fresh and warm, perfect for sharing with loved ones during the festive season.
