Yep, I cheated. I tried one already. WOW, are they good. Especially considering the points value. I know that my husband and son are going to gobble these up tomorrow morning!
What's Needed:
LOVE KNOTS:
2 packages (1/4 oz. EACH) active dry yeast
1/2 C. warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/2 C. warm milk (110-115 degrees)
1/2 C. butter, softened
1/2 C. sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. salt
TOPPING:
2 C. sugar
2 T. ground cinnamon
3/4 C. butter, melted
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, eggs, and salt. Stir in enough flour to form a stiff dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; kneed until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
3. Punch dough down; divide into three portions. Cover two with plastic wrap.
4. Shape one portion into 12 balls. Roll each ball into an 8-in. rope.
5. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Dip rope into melted butter, then coat with cinnamon-sugar.
6. Tie into a knot. Tuck and pinch ends under and place on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough.
7. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
8. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Let cool completely.
Husband's Grade: A
PointsPlus Value: 3 per knot
