Sunday morning brunch just isn't the same without a sweet gooey treat. Something that you can sink your teeth into, close your eyes, and smile (everything is good in the world just for the moment). We have tried several varieties of cinnamon rolls on various special occasions through out the year and have decided this is the winner hands down. No longer do we have to choke down the expensive store bought frozen rolls and smile just because you feel obligated to because you know how much they cost. This easy quick recipe takes 30 min from start to finish and is worth every minute!
Ingredients:
2 TB butter (Earth Balance Buttery Sticks)
1/4 c. sugar
1/3-1/2 c. warm dairy free milk (start with 1/3 then add more if needed)
1 egg
1/4 c. oil
1 tsp g/f vanilla
1 TB instant yeast
1/2 c. sorghum flour
1 c. corn starch
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp xantham gum
2 tsp g/f baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Filling:
2/3 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Glaze:
3/4 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla rice milk (or add a couple drops of vanilla to any dairy free milk)
Using a mixer beat the butter until fluffy. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs, oil and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and add to the wet mixture. Slowly add dairy free milk until dough consistency is achieved. Beat on high for 2-3 minutes.
Lay out a piece of plastic wrap (approx 15 inches) and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with 1 TB sugar. Lay the dough on this and cover with another piece of plastic wrap (approx 15 inches) also sprayed with cooking spray. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough (approximately a 13 inches).
Lift the top piece of plastic wrap off and sprinkle the filling on the dough. Gently lift one edge of the plastic wrap so the dough begins to roll. Once it is started, the dough will roll on it's own with a gentle lift of the plastic wrap.
Spray a sharp knife with cooking spray to prevent sticking and cut the roll into 8 pieces and carefully place them in a glass pie dish sprayed with cooking spray. Cook at 375 for 20 minutes.
Combine the glaze ingredients and drizzle over rolls before serving.
