Serves: 8-9 cinnamon rolls
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted for greasing the pan
Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
  • ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon powder
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Dough:
  • 2.5 cups all purpose flour plus more for dusting the work surface
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1¼ cups buttermilk
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Icing:
  • 4 tbsp softened cream cheese
  • 4 tbsp buttermilk
  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar
Instructions
  1. Pre heat oven to 425F and adjust oven rack to upper middle position.
Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
  1. Combine sugars, spices and salt in a small bowl. Add melted butter and stir it using a fork until it resembles a wet sand.
Dough:
  1. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, mix buttermilk and 2 tbsp melted butter. Add this liquid mixture to dry mixture and mix. The dough will be shaggy. Transfer this dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth.
  2. Pat the dough using your hands into a 12 inch by 9 inch rectangle. Brush the dough with 2 tbsp melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with the mixture leaving an ½-inch border.
  3. Using your hands pat the filling firmly into the dough. Using a metal scraper, loosen the dough from the work surface and start rolling it tightly starting from the longer side and rolling it into a tight log.
  4. Roll the long seam side down and cut it into 8-9 even pieces. You can discard a small portion from both ends if you want to as the ends are usually smaller and with almost no filling.
  5. Using your hands seal the ends of each piece.
  6. Grease your baking pan with 1 tbsp melted butter and place the rolls into it.Brush the rolls with the remaining 2 tbsp melted butter.
  7. Bake until the edges are golden brown about 23-25 minutes.
  8. While the rolls are baking, get your icing ready.
Icing:
  1. Whisk cream cheese and buttermilk until smooth. Add sugar a little at a time and whisk and then add more and whisk. Once all the sugar is added, make sure that the icing is smooth. Drizzle icing generously all over the cinnamon rolls.
