Ingredients

  • 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 (2-1/4 tsp.) envelope Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Instant Yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter OR margarine, divided

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Almond Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Heat milk, sour cream and 2 tablespoons butter until very warm (120° to 130°F); stir into dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
  2. Roll dough into 24 x 8-inch rectangle. Spread remaining 2 tablespoons butter over half of the dough (crosswise); sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Fold dough over filling; press ends to seal. Cut into 12 (1-inch) strips. Hold ends of each strip; twist several times and shape into candy canes. Place on greased baking sheets, Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  3. Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Remove from sheets; cool on wire racks. Drizzle with Almond Glaze.
  4. Almond Glaze: Combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl, adding enough milk to reach desired constancy. Stir until smooth.
