Granny’s Butterole

  • Pastry for single crust pie (uncooked)
  • 2 Tablespoons butter or oleo
  • 1/4 Cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 Cups sugar
  • 1 Cup milk
  • 2 heaping Tablespoons flour
  • 2 Tablespoons oleo
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla

Roll out the pastry and spread 2 Tablespoons butter over the pastry with a butter knife. Sprinkle 1/4 Cup sugar over butter. Roll into thin tubes and bake about 20 minutes at 350°F.  Break into pieces in a serving bowl.

In a 3-quart sauce pot, mix the 1-1/2 Cups sugar, milk and flour. Cook on medium high (7 or 8 on a scale of 0-10) heat 7 minutes, stirring frequently until smooth.  Increase heat to high (9 or 10 on a scale of 0-10) to bring sauce to a boil and keep stirring while the sauce boils.  Total cooking time on high heat is 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and add oleo and vanilla. Pour over “butter rolls” and serve warm.
