Easy Cinnamon Buns Recipe
Description
The dough for the Easy Cinnamon Buns consists of flour, sugar, baking powder, cold butter or margarine, and cold milk, blended until it forms a soft ball. This biscuit-like dough is rolled out to a rectangular shape. The filling, made of brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, is spread evenly over the rolled dough along with optional raisins, then the dough is rolled into a log and divided into 12 pieces.
While the procedures suggest placing a teaspoon of filling in each muffin tin, the main body of filling is spread across the dough prior to rolling. Baking at 400 degrees Fahrenheit helps develop a golden, soft bun with the cinnamon sugar melted inside, creating a moist and sweet interior. The dough's texture is tender due to the baking powder leavening, and the raisins add bursts of chewy sweetness when used.
Sometimes the recipe allows for currants or no fruit as variations, adjusting the fruitiness. These buns are great for breakfast or snacks, served warm to maximize the flavor and softness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder

- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions
- Kick the tires and light the fires : preheat oven to 400 degrees please!
- Take those 2 cups of flour and dump them into a mixing bowl, add in the baking powder and sugar.
- Mix the dry ingredients together with a whisk.
- Use a pastry blender ( or two knifes criss-crossing each other) and cut the butter in, until its in tiny little pieces throughout the mixture.
- Make a well, and pour the milk into it.
- Mix it until it forms a soft ball, then take the dough out and put it onto a floured surface.
- Take your rolling pin, and roll it until it's about 12 inches long, 5-6 inches wide and 1/3 inch thick.

- Roll the dough up jelly roll style.
- Mark off 12 rolls. Don't ignore me and start sawing away wildly, take a knife and mark them off.
- Take a serrated knife and cut those marks that you listened to me and made.

- Bake for 12-17 minutes.
Notes
- Variations include using currants instead of raisins or omitting fruit for a simpler cinnamon bun.
