No-Yeast Cinnamon Buns - found on Pinterest!

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Filling:

• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Mix filling ingredients in a small bowl and stir with a fork until blended; set aside.

Dough:

• 2 1/2 cups flour, plus more for rolling out dough
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
• 1 cup buttermilk OR 1 cup milk and a tablespoon of lemon or lime juice
• 7 tablespoons butter, melted

To make the dough, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and 4 tablespoons of the melted butter. 

Pour over the dry ingredients, and stir together with a wooden spoon until it forms a scraggly-looking dough.

Knead a few times until it becomes smooth.

Separate the dough into two balls. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten out one of the balls .Sprinkle an even amount of cinnamon-sugar filling over each flattened piece of dough.

*

Gently pat the filling into dough

Roll each filled dough into a log
Cut each rolled log into eight equal pieces, you should have 16 rolls in total now. 

*

Using a pastry brush, coat an 11-inch by 8-inch rectangular glass or ceramic baking pan with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.

Arrange cut rolls in the pan, and press down with your hand to flatten slightly. Brush tops with the remaining melted butter.

*

Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and filling is bubbling from the top.

Cream Cheese Icing: 

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons buttermilk
• 2/3 cup (79 grams) icing sugar

You can always just use regular icing too!

Drizzle icing over cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.

YU-MMY! Enjoy!
