Ingredients

For the Rolls

  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 Tablespoons butter, melted & divided
  • 1 cup cherry preserves

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 Tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter 10 inch pie plate with 1 Tablespoon butter.
  2. Pour the lemon juice in a measuring cup and add the milk. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Create a well in the center and pour in the milk mixture and 2 Tablespoons melted butter. Use a fork to stir it until a soft dough forms.
  5. Place the dough on a flour lined table and knead 5-6 times to work a little flour into the sticky dough. Do not over knead or add too much flour or your rolls will be harder.
  6. Gently press the dough into a 10x14 rectangle. Make sure to keep flour under the dough to keep it from sticking.
  7. Spoon the cherry preserves onto the dough and spread out leaving a 1 inch border all around the dough.
  8. Roll up gently. If the dough sticks, use a butter knife to gently loosen it and to push flour under the roll.
  9. Cut the ends off each side of the roll, then cut the log into 8 even rolls. Place in the buttered dish.
  10. Drizzle the remaining 1 Tablespoon melted butter over the rolls. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes.
  11. Whisk together the glaze ingredients, then pour it on top of the warm rolls. Let sit for another 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes

*These rolls are best served warm the day they are made. The glaze will soak into the rolls and the cherry juice will color the dough if they sit overnight. They still taste great but do not look as pretty.
