CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE EASY QUICK RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line the bottom with baking parchment. Mix the flour, caster sugar and cinnamon together with a pinch of salt in a bowl. Whisk the butter, egg yolks and milk together and combine with the dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to a rectangle, about 30 x 25cm.
• Mix the filling ingredients together. Spread evenly over the dough then roll it up lengthways, like a Swiss roll, to form a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 even-sized slices and pack into the prepared tin. Brush gently with extra milk and bake for 30-35 mins or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 mins before removing from the tin.
• Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Place the cream cheese and butter in the centre, pour over 2 tbsp boiling water, and stir to mix. Add a little more water until you have a drizzly consistency. Stir in the vanilla essence, then drizzle the icing over the rolls. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• Lightly spray a 8-9 inch circular cake pan or pie dish with nonstick cooking spray

• To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, sift all the dry ingredients
• With the mixer on low, slowly pour in buttermilk, vanilla, and melted butter
• Let mixture knead for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until a smooth dough forms
• Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface and knead for an additional 2-3 minutes adding a sprinkle of flour as needed, until dough is smooth and supple

• For the filling, in a medium bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt
• Mix thoroughly until totally combined and set aside
• Add a light dusting of flour to your work surface and roll the dough out to approximately 13"x19" rectangle
• Using an offset spatula, evenly spread the filling over the dough, leaving a 1/2 border around the outside
• Starting at the edge closest to you, begin tightly rolling the dough into a pinwheel
• Lightly pinch the edge to the roll to seal shut
• Using a serrated knife, trim the very ends of both sides of the log off
• Cut the log into 9 equal portions and arrange in your baking pan, giving each roll a light press to flatten slightly
• Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes until lightly golden and gooey
• For the glaze, in a small bowl, add confectioners sugar and enough milk to reach desired consistency
