Why only share it with one mom when I can share it with thousands (maybe one day I will have that many followers to this blog....), right ?!
Here it is:
Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups butter
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1-2 tsp ground cardamom
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
Filling:
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 5 tbsp sugar
- ground cinnamon
Glaze/topping:
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- pearl sugar
- 1 1/2 cups butter
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1-2 tsp ground cardamom
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
Filling:
- 4 tbsp butter, softened
- 5 tbsp sugar
- ground cinnamon
Glaze/topping:
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- pearl sugar
Oven:
220-250 C
Directions:
- Melt butter, add milk. Heat to room temperature.
- Stir in yeast. Make sure milk-mixture not too hot,as this could "kill" the yeast.
- Add sugar, salt and most of the flour. Work the dough in a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, until it starts to come off the side of the bowl.
- Dust work-surface with flour. Work the dough until it is smooth.
- Put the dough back in the bowl and cover with damp tea-towel.
- Let it rise in warm place for 30mins. Make sure you do not leave it by a window,as cold air could stop it from rising.
- Divide the dough in two halves.
- Let one half rest in the bowl, covered with tea-towel, while you roll out the other half to a 1/2 cm thick rectangle.
- Spread half the butter, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon (This can be added/reduced as per your own taste) on top. Roll it together from the long side.
- Cut the roll into about 25 buns. Put each bun in paper muffin-trays or on baking sheet. Cover with tea-towel.
- Do the same with the other half of the dough and then let it all rise for about 30 mins.
- Brush the buns with lightly beaten eggs. Sprinkle with pearl-sugar. Bake in middle of oven (220-250 C)for about 5-7 mins. Let cool under tea-towel.
Note: These cinnamon buns are great for freezing and can be reheated in oven, as well as in microwave.
Enjoy ! Oh, and if you would like to add a bit more "crunch" and flavour, you could also sprinkle some chopped almond on top before baking.
*To make you feel better about eating these delicious things: Cinnamon helps control your blood sugar, which influences your risk of heart disease !
In fact, USDA researchers found that people with type-2 diabetes who consumed 1 g of cinnamon a day for 6 weeks (about 1/4 teaspoon each day) significantly reduced not only their blood sugar but also their triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol. Credit the spice ' s active ingredients, methylhydroxychalcone polymers, which increase your cells ' ability to metabolize sugar by your coffee up to 20 times.
There you go. Have fun !
