Sometimes the smallest change can make a big difference.
I've taken the liberty to enhance a family recipe by adding one additional ingredient to enhance the flavor profile. Let's Begin!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole or plant based milk (Warm)
2 large eggs at room temperature
2 1/2 t instant dry yeast
1/3 Cup unsalted butter (Kerrygold is my preference or Country Crock Plant Based Butter)
4 Cups all-purpose flour
1 t salt
1/2 Cup granulated sugar
FILLING
1/2 cup very soft salted butter (Not Melted)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 t nutmeg
1/2 t all spice
3 T cinnamon
CAKE BATTER CREAM CHEESE ICING
1/3 cup softened unsalted butter
2 cups powdered sugar
6 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1 T cake batter extract
1/2 t pure vanilla extract
1/8 t salt
DIRECTIONS
Pour warm milk in a stand mixer add the yeast.
Add the eggs, butter, salt and sugar.
Add in flour and mix jut until combined.
Set this mixture aside for 5 minutes to rest.
Attach the dough hook.
Beat the dough on medium speed to form a dough ball. Knead for 6 minutes or until smooth. (This dough will be sticky)
Spray a large bowl with cooking spray.
Place the dough in the greased large bowl.
Cover the bowl with a warm towel .
Place the bowl in a warm place, let it rest and rise until it is double its size.
Turn the dough on a lightly floured surface.
Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough into a rectangle.
Spread the cinnamon filling over the rectangle, but leave at least 1/2 inch at the end without filling. Once you start rolling the dough the inside cinnamon mixture will move to the edge
Roll the dough nice and firm, but not to tight
Cut the dough with a serrated knife or dental floss
Cut in half then then cut the halves in half yielding 12 -14 rolls
Set aside and cover with a warm towel or plastic wrap until double in size
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
OPTIONAL: Lightly glaze each roll with whole milk, heavy cream, or coconut milk.
Bake at 375 degrees for 18-25 minutes - (The baking time will depend on the size of the rolls)
Combine all of the ingredients for the cake batter cream cheese icing in a sturdy bowl top each cinnamon roll generously.
Enjoy!
