Introduction

Tasty homemade cinnamon buns without the frosting. Tasty homemade cinnamon buns without the frosting.
Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    2 C. Flour
    1/2 tsp Salt
    1 T Baking Powder
    1/3 C Butter
    3/4 C Skim Milk
    1 C packed Brown Sugar
    4 T Ground Cinnamon
    Cooking spray to grease a 9x13" pan

Directions

Makes 12, 2 in. diameter rolls.

Preheat the oven to 350
1. Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bow.
2. Cut in 1/3 C butter. You can use a pastry blender or simply two knives to cut the butter into small pieces. DO NOT MELT THE BUTTER!
3. Add to the mixture the milk. This will make a sticky mixture. Use your hands to make sure it's all mixed in and roll the dough into a ball. If you want some tasty dinner rolls, you can stop here and roll the dough into a cylinder and cut 12 circles. If not, look to the next step.
4. Add some flour to the counter or cutting board to keep the dough from sticking. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten the ball of dough into a long oval, almost a rectangle, similar to the size of a 9x13" pan.
5. Melt a small chunk of butter (you don't need more than a tablespoon) and brush it onto the flattened dough surface. You can use a pastry brush or just your fingers (watch out though if you use a microwave to melt it , that butter gets hot!).
6. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the buttered surface evenly.
7. Roll the dough into a long cylinder and fold/pinch the ends.
8. Cut the dough roll into 12 pieces and lay in the bottom of a Pam coated 9x13" pan.
9. Cook for 15 minutes or until slightly golden. If you like a chewier biscuit, cook for less time.
