Easy cinnamon roll buns!

Being British there is one conversation I have with someone at least once a day. Weather. Seriously what is this? I have actually been wearing my winter coat again. Not what you want to be doing at the end of May. So to cheer myself up on this gloomy, rainy miserable day I decided to make cinnamon rolls buns. And this has to be one of the easiest things to make and I think it looks rather impressive!

Adapted from Good Food

Rolls:

350g/12oz self raising flour, sifted

Pinch of salt

2tbsp caster sugar

1tsp ground cinnamon

100g/3.5oz butter, melted and extra for greasing

2 egg yolks

200ml/7 fl oz milk, extra for glazing

Filling:

1 tsp ground cinnamon

55g/2oz brown sugar

2 tbsp caster sugar

1 tbsp butter, melted

Icing:

125g/4.5 oz icing sugar, sifted

water

Grease a round tin and line with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/ Gas mark 4.

Mix together the flour, caster sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Whisk together the egg yolks, milk and melted butter and combine a little at a time with the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Roll the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper into a rectangle (30cmx25cm)

Make the filling by mixing all the ingredients together. Spread the filling evenly over the dough and roll the dough up like a Swiss roll. Cut the dough into 8 even sized pieces.

Brush the tops with milk and bake for 30 - 35 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

To make the icing combine water and icing sugar until a runny but solid icing has formed. Drizzle the icing over the top.

Best served warm!
