Cinnamon Roll Muffins

Category: Desserts

1 cup buttermilk


1/2 cup brown sugar


1 tsp baking soda


1/2 tsp salt


1/2 tsp vanilla


1 egg


3 cups flour + a little more for dusting



Filling

2 tbs butter, room temp


2/3 cup brown sugar


3/4 tsp cinnamon



Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
/2 teas vanilla

2-3 tbsp cream (or milk)



Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Put brown sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla and egg into a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk and whisk together with a whisk or fork. Slowly add flour and stir with a large spoon until combined, but do not over-stir.


Place dough on a floured surface and knead with hands for two minutes. Roll out (on floured surface) into a 12'' X 24 " rectangle.



Spread 2 tbsp of room temperature butter all over the dough (I like to spread with my clean hands or a spoon). Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together then sprinkle over the top over the butter.


Start at on end of the rectangle and roll into a tight log.


Score or mark 12, two inch slices. You'll probably need to stretch the log slightly before hand to get 12 scores. Cut dough and place each slice in a greased or lined muffin pan.


Bake for 15 minutes (or until very slightly golden--do not brown!)


While the muffins are baking, whisk the powdered sugar, van and cream together to make the glaze.


Remove the muffins and let cool slightly before drizzling with glaze.


Serve warm
