Four Hands on a Soft Dough
After over twenty years of making her trademark cinnamon rolls, counted upon by many a west Texas family for holiday cheer, my mother realized this morning that by leaving the dough uncovered on the counter for a bit (post-rise, of course) that it’s much more stable and easy to manipulate – not to mention less gooey and sticky.
My sister and I were left to our own devices a few years back when Mom had to go and stay with her mother in the hospital – and fell guilty to visiting vs. concentrating and lumpy, crunchy potato-based dough and cinnamon-less “cinnamon rolls” (which I refer to now as sweet rolls) – but we’re fairly certain the throngs of expectant Tall City-dwellers were none the wiser.
