Cinnamon Buns

IEveryone likes a cinnamon bun don't they? They are gorgeous with a cup of tea or nice and warm with a coffee for breakfast. There is something very warming and soothing about cinnamon, it always reminds me of Christmas, I think it has very seasonal properties. I tend to make a big batch of these on a Friday evening so that my partner and I can indulge in these for breakfast at the weekend, or if I have friends staying, they are easy to warm up and they are very easy to make as well; they look and taste very impressive, yet made with very little effort.

Cinnamon Buns

4tsp. Baking Powder

1 cup Brown or White Sugar

3 tsp. Cinnamon

2 Cups Plain Flour

1/2 cup Icing Sugar

1 tsp. Salt

2 tbsp. Sugar for filling

7 tbsp. Butter

1 Cup Milk

• Start by preheating the oven to 195oc and prep a cupcake tray by lightly greasing the cupcake holes.
• In a bowl start the filling; combine 1 tbsp. of butter with the 2 tbsp. of sugar and the cinnamon. This will create a very stiff mixture. Set to one side.
• In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and the salt. Cut in the remaining 6 tbsp. of butter and start to combine with your hands.
• Stir in the milk gradually to form a soft dough.
• Lighly flour the surface youre working on and roll the dough out to a 1/4 thickness and shape the dough into a rectangle.
• Spread the filling on the rolled out surface.
• Roll up the rectangle and with a sharp knife cut into 12 small rolls.
• Place the rolls into the tin and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
• While the cinnamon buns are baking, prep the icing for the top of the buns. Mix the 1/2 cup of icing sugar with 50ml of water. Mix until the power has dissolved and pop into the fridge.
• Decorate the buns when they are cool.
