Ingredients

    dough:
    2 1/2 cups AP flour
    1 1/2 tsp. instant yeast
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/3 cup sugar.
    2 Tb. butter
    1 egg
    1/2 cup milk
    1/2 cup sugar
    2 tsp cinnamon

    Cream Cheese Icing

    8 tbs (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
    1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    1/4 cup (2 oz) cream cheese
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    pinch of salt
    2-4 tbs cream (optional)

Directions

In food processer with steel blade, combine:
2 1/2 cups AP flour
1 1/2 tsp. instant yeast
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup sugar.
Pulse for 5 seconds. Then add:
2 Tb. butter
1 egg
and 1/2 cup milk, drizzling in slowly
Process until dough ball forms, then knead dough until smooth and elastic. Place in a buttered bowl, let rise until doubled (at least 2 hours).
After rising, roll out dough into 1/2 inch-thich rectangle. Brush liberally with melted butter, spread with a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon. Roll it up, seal the edges, and cut into 1- to 1-1/2- inch slices. Place individually in muffin tin or nestled together in round cake pan (Nadia notes: nestled snugly tastes better; they get too crispy in muffin tins), and let rise about 1 hour longer. Brush with additional butter and sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar, bake in 400-degree oven for about 20-25 minutes

Cream Cheese Icing

8 tbs (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup (2 oz) cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
2-4 tbs cream (optional)

Mix all the ingredients except for the cream together in a medium bowl until fluffy. If it's too thick for your tastes, add some of the cream. Try not to eat it all before getting it onto the cinnamon buns.
