Cinnamon Buns

Brunch Recipes | 0 comments

This recipe seems crazy, but it works! You can have hot, delicious cinnamon buns in about an hour and a half. This is based on a recipe I found in a recipe calendar. That recipe did not call for any kneading and did not have a very nice texture, so I tweaked it and came up with these buns. They would be quite expensive to make using individually packaged yeast, but I use the bulk yeast in a jar (the jar label has the amount of yeast that is equivalent to one package).

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups flour divided
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 envelopes quick rise yeast
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2 eggs

Filling:

  • 3 tablespoons butter softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • Add milk, butter and eggs.
  • Using electric mixer with dough hook, mix on medium speed for 2 minutes to blend. Reduce speed to low, and mix for 5 minutes to knead. Gradually add the remaining cup of flour to make a soft dough that comes away from the sides of the bowl. (add more flour if required).

Filling:

  • Mix filling ingredients together and sprinkle over dough.
  • Roll up like a jelly roll.
  • Cut roll into buns (8-12 depending on the size you want).

  • Place in COLD oven, and then set the temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
