Gooey and sugary, cinnamon rolls have become a firm favourite for many people over the last few years. Home baked goods always taste better than their supermarket counterpart but cinnamon rolls can be hard to bake . That’s why BBC Good Food has shared an “easy” recipe which uses a “few simple shortcuts” to “save time and effort”.
The recipe notes said: “Try these cinnamon rolls with vanilla icing as a treat for afternoon tea. “They’re delicious served warm or cold - you can also make them ahead and freeze.” Ingredients: 300g self-raising flour Two tablespoons of caster sugar One teaspoon of ground cinnamon 70g butter, melted Two egg yolks 130ml milk One teaspoon of ground cinnamon 55g light brown soft sugar Two tablespoons of caster sugar 40g butter, melted 60g icing sugar One tablespoon of cream cheese Half a teaspoon of butter Half a teaspoon of vanilla Method: Heat the oven to 180C or 160C Fan before greasing a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and lining it with parchment.
Mix the flour, caster sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl with a pinch of salt before whisking the butter, egg yolks and milk together to make a soft dough. Turn it out onto a floured surface and roll out to a rectangle, around 30cm by 25cm. Mix the filling ingredients together and then spread evenly over the dough, then roll it up lengthways like a Swiss roll to form a log.
Cut it into eight even-sized slices and pack into the prepared tin before brushing gently with extra milk. Bake.
