Ingredients

2/3 cup milk

1/3 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup butter, softened

1 egg

3/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups bread flour

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

MAPLE ICING:

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

3 tablespoons butter, melted

3 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order

suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5

minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or bread flour if

needed).

When the cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured

surface. Roll into two 12-in. x 7-in. rectangles. In a small bowl,

combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon; cut in butter until

mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half over each rectangle.

Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from a long side; pinch seam to

seal.

Cut each roll into 12 slices. Place cut side down in one greased

13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until

doubled, about 20 minutes.

Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a

wire rack for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the

confectioners’ sugar, butter, syrup and enough milk to achieve

desired consistency. Spread over warm rolls. Yield: 2 dozen.
