How to make express cinnamon buns

Step 1 - preparations

Grease the baking pan with butter and dust with flour.

Preheat the oven to 180 ℃ (top/bottom heat mode) or 170 ℃ (convection).

Step 2 - preparing the cinnamon buns

Add flour to a large bowl, add the remaining dry ingredients.

300 g all-purpose flour, 50 g sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 pinch salt

Add butter and egg.

60 g butter, 1 egg

Pour in almost all the milk and start mixing/kneading the dough.

80-90 ml milk

If the dough is not sticky enough, add the rest of the milk, and if it's too sticky, add a little flour (I didn't have to).

Take the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a thin flatbread.

Mix the sugar for the filling with cinnamon.

100 g sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Brush the entire surface of the dough with melted butter.

approx 20 g butter

Sprinkle the top of the dough with cinnamon sugar.

Roll the dough into a log.

Cut the dough into 8 portions.

Arrange the buns in the prepared pan.

Step 3 - baking the buns

Bake the buns for about 20-25 minutes - until they are nicely golden brown. You can also check with a toothpick to see if the dough inside is well baked.

Cool the finished buns before frosting.

Step 4 - preparing the glaze for the buns

Pour the powdered sugar into a bowl. Add heavy cream (regular milk can also be used) in portions and mix until you get a thick and smooth frosting.

100 g powdered sugar, approx 35 ml heavy cream
