Cinnamon Scrolls

Um delish! Here is the recipe so many have asked for! Adapted from the Coles Traditional Cinnamon Scrolls recipe.



INGREDIENTS

  • 185ml warm milk

  • 3 cups plain flour

  • 1 sachet/7g dried yeast

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 50g softened butter

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • Ground cinnamon

CINNAMON FILLING

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 tbs ground cinnamon

  • 60g softened butter

BUTTERCREAM

  • 50g butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup icing sugar mixture

  • 2 tsp milk



METHOD


STEP 1

Place the milk, yeast and 1 tsp sugar in a small jug and stir until well combined. Set aside for 5 - 10 mins.


STEP 2

Add the egg, butter and 1 tbs water to the milk/yeast mixture then whisk.


STEP 3

Combine flour, salt and sugar. Make a well in the centre and add in milk mixture. Stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approx 10 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover loosely with a clean damp tea towel. Set aside in a warm place for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.


STEP 4

Meanwhile, place the sugar, cinnamon and butter in a small bowl and stir until a smooth paste forms. This will form the cinnamon mixture.


STEP 5

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a rectangle cake pan and line with baking paper. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Roll out the dough to a 30cm x 40cm rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 2cm border at 1 long end. Starting from the other long end, roll up the dough to enclose the filling. Use a serrated knife to cut evenly into 9 scrolls. Arrange the scrolls, cut-side up, in the prepared pan. Cover loosely with a clean damp tea towel and set aside for 20-30 mins or until the dough rises to the top of the pan.


STEP 6

Bake for 10 mins. Reduce oven to 180°C. Bake for a further 20-25 mins or until the scrolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the top. Set aside in the pan to cool.


STEP 7

To make the buttercream, use an electric mixer to beat the butter in a bowl until very pale. Add the icing sugar and beat until well combined. Add the milk and beat to combine.


STEP 8

Place the scrolls on a serving platter. Spread with the buttercream and sprinkle with cinnamon



Enjoy.
