Cinnamon-Maple Dinner Roll Glaze

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and brown sugar over medium heat until fragrant and butter is melted and slightly thickened.

Step 2

Remove from heat and brush over Martin’s Dinner Potato Rolls, arranged on a prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake rolls for 3-4 minutes to allow glaze to set.

Step 4

Serve warm.

Step 5

Optionally, you can sprinkle crushed pecans over the warm, buttered dinner rolls prior to serving.

Alternative Recipe – Compound Butter:

Using softened butter instead of melted butter, mix in the maple syrup, cinnamon, and sugar. Transfer to plastic wrap or parchment paper and shape the butter into a log, sealing the ends by twisting. Chill in refrigerator until firm, at least an hour. (Butter will keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks, and in the freezer for a few months). Compound butter can be used as a spread with a knife (as you would use regular butter), or melted over top of warmed dishes like meats or dinner rolls.
