Violet Bakery Cinnamon Buns

These rolls are easy to make, don’t use yeast and taste amazing.  This recipe is from The Violet Bakery Cookbook by Clair Ptak.  Give them a try and let me know what you think 😉

Makes 12 Rolls

Filling
1/3 cup butter - melted
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Buns
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cardamom
2 sticks cold butter cut into cubes
1 1/4 cup cold milk
Sugar for coating
Butter for greasing pan

Preheat oven to 390

Combine brown sugar and cinnamon for filling and set aside

Combine dry ingredients in bowl of stand mixer.  Add in cold butter cubes while mixing and continue till you have a coarse meal.  Slowly pour in milk and mix until dough comes together.  Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and let rest for a couple of minutes.  Fold dough over on itself a couple of times and let rest 10 minutes.  

While resting generously grease a muffin pan.

When done resting, roll dough out into a rectangle about 1/8” thick.  Spread butter on top then cinnamon sugar and start rolling up from long edge.  Tighten roll as you go.  Cut roll into 12 slices.  Take a slice and peel back about 2 inches of the loose end and fold under bottom.  This will keep that gooey deliciousness from oozing out.  

Bake for @25 minutes till golden and well risen.  Immediately remove from pan and dip in bowl of sugar.  Best served warm, but can be warmed up in the oven later on.  Enjoy 😉
