Cinnamon Buns

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more".
Melody Beattie


Mmmm, melt in you mouth goodness! With a robust cup of Fair trade coffee and great fellowship, there is not a whole lot better to accompany that, then fresh Cinnamon Buns!

















Dough:

  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 Tbsp. quick rise yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup margarine or butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg

Heat milk, sugar and butter until butter is almost melted.

Mix half of the flour, dry yeast and salt. Add liquid ingredients add egg and mix well, adding the remaining flour. Knead the dough for a few minutes adding a little flour as needed, but the dough should feel a little sticky. Let rise til double. Roll into a rectangle and spread with filling.

Filling:

  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. cinnamon

Spread the butter on the dough, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and cut into 12 equal slices. Place into a 9x13 pan on top of glaze. Let rise about 30-40 minutes. Bake @ 375 for 20-25 min. Cool 5 minutes and tip over onto wax paper to catch the glaze.

Sticky Glaze

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup brown
  • 1 Tbsp. corn syrup

Combine and place in the bottom of the pan.

Alternate Glaze

  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Place in the bottom of pan add buns and bale.

I got this recipe from my friend Darcie, who made and sold the buns to a restaurant on a daily basis. They were very popular and very tasty. Try them toasted or fresh out of the oven. Can you smell them baking?
