2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup buttermilk
8 tablespoons butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat oven to 400˚. Grease a 9-inch round pan. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in vegetable oil. Add buttermilk, and stir just until blended. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
Roll dough into a 15-inch x 8-inch rectangle. Spread butter over the dough.
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle over butter. Roll up the rectangle, starting from one long side. Pinch seam to seal. Cut the roll in 1½-inch slices.
Arrange slices, cut side up, in prepared pan.
Bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Serve hot.
Why does this Haywood County town have some of the cleanest water in the state? It’s the result of the community’s efforts to keep the forests in its watershed pristine.
The spectacular views in North Carolina’s High Country aren’t just inspiration for writers, painters, and sculptors. Those landscapes — the rugged gray face of Grandfather Mountain, the vibrant fall leaves, the deep green meadows — are brushstrokes on Earth’s own canvas.
The sprawling vineyards and wide-open skies that stretch for miles across seven North Carolina counties offer relaxing getaways — not to mention some of the state’s finest wines — for Sunday drivers aching to escape the rush of city life.
Nothing lasts forever — and that’s what makes many of our cherished moments so special.
