I may have mentioned this before but this Kitchen Aid stand mixer is the best/worst thing that ever happened to me. No cake mixes here! Rising dough, sticky cinnamon buns? Yeah, I made some. What up?
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Dough
One package instant quick-rise yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
disolve together
add:
3 tbsp softened butter
4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cream
1 tsp salt
3 1/4 cups flour
mix on Speed 2 with the kneading attatchment or, just mix that baby up with a wooden spoon. Switch hands or you'll end up with one really sore bicep.
lightly oil or grease the top of the ball of dough, flip it over and do the same to the other side. Cover and let rise for 2 hours in a warm place.
Once it's risen, punch it down and place on floured surface, roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1/2 inch thick rectangle. Smear with a WHOLE BUNCH of softened butter (about half a cup).
Filling
In a bowl, mix 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 3tbsp cinnamon, spread evenly over buttered dough leaving approximately an inch around the edge bare.
Carefully role the dough up and pinch the edge to the roll so it stays together. Flip it so the seam is on the bottom. Set aside.
Sticky Sauce
In a sauce pan, melt 1/4 cup of butter and add 1tsp of flour to make, add 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1oz of whiskey if you've got it. Bring it to a boil, stirring constantly.
Pour over the bottom of your bakeware.
Cut your roll into 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch thick slices, place cut side down onto the sauce. Place in the over for 20 minutes or until golden.
Cream Cheese Icing
1 tub spreadable cream cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 cups icing sugar
Mix until well blended.
Remove cinnamon buns from the oven, let cool 5-10 minutes. Flip bakeware onto tray or pan, gently tap the bottom of the bakeware to make sure the buns fall onto the tray. Cool 3-5 more minutes, then spread with icing.
I'm making fish tacos for dinner but I'll have to wait a bit before I do. I couldn't wait to have a cinnamon bun and now I'm full!
