How to Make Old Fashioned German Butter Roll
- Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time if necessary, to reach desired consistency.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Brush the dough with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle generously with a mixture of 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Cut the dough in half lengthwise. Reserve one half for later.
- Roll up the first half of dough jelly-roll style (tightly). Cut the roll in half crosswise.
- Repeat steps 7 with the reserved dough half.
- Place the 4 rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Pour 3/4 cup of half-and-half evenly over the rolls.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar-nutmeg mixture over the rolls.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 70 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
