Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the egg with a whisk, then add the sour cream and mix well. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Stir well with a rubber spatula just until combined. 1 large egg, 3/4 cup sour cream, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- Turn the dough onto a slightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Spread it lightly with the butter. Cover it with the cherries, then sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon over the cherries. Roll it up like a jelly roll and use a sharp knife to cut it into 9-12 pieces, as desired. 2 tablespoons salted butter, 2 cups drained tart cherries*, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Prepare the baking pan, either a large, deep dish pie plate (9 rolls) or a square 9x9" or 9x13" baking dish, by spraying it with cooking spray. Place the rolls, cut side up, close together in the pan. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugars, corn starch, juice, extract and coloring. Bring this mixture to a boil and stir constantly over medium heat. Boil until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-10 minutes).*** Add the butter and mix well. 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 1/2 cups 100% cherry juice**, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, red food coloring, 1 1/2 tablespoons salted butter
- Pour this mixture over the rolls. Bake them for 25 minutes or until just lightly browned. *Bake these with a cookie sheet underneath to catch any potential overflow of cherry juice.
- In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter and flavoring. Add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time until the glaze is drizzling consistency. 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons salted butter, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring, 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
- Drizzle the almond glaze over the cooled rolls.
Notes
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
- The calories shown are based on the recipe making 12 rolls, with 1 serving being 1 sweet roll. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. **
- *I used canned tart red cherries in water.
- **I used Juicy Juice 100% Cherry Juice.
- ***If the cherry syrup is not thickening, you may need to add a touch more cornstarch. Take a small cup and mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix until smooth. Pour this into the boiling syrup and whisk until combined. It should thicken quickly at that point.
