This classic American pastry is surprisingly easy to make, and make the perfect addition to any brunch.
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 350g self-raising flour
- tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 200ml milk
- 100g butter, melted
- 2 eggs, yolks only
For the filling:
- 60g brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 100g icing sugar
Method
- Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 5. In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the egg yolks, butter and mix until well combined, then pour this into the flour mix (whilst beating) until a dough has formed.
- Mix together all filling ingredients, aside from the icing sugar, in a small bowl. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about the size of a piece of paper.
- Spread the filling out evenly on top of the dough, then roll up tightly and cut into 8 equal rolls and arrange in an oven dish so that they are tightly packed in together. Bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Mix the icing sugar with water until it reaches your desired consistency, and drizzle over the top.
