G-Free "Cinna-Bunns"



Mmmm! This was pretty good, but it was a little gooey. Next time, I may bake it a little longer... but my dad says he loves the gooey texture!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk @ room temp.
1packet of yeast (about 1 tbsp)
1 1/2 cup gfree flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 to 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (to your taste)

Icing:

3/4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk
1/2 cup cream cheese

Method:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Combine the sugar and butter in an electric mixer, and mix well. Add the egg and mix well, scraping the sides of the bowl. Add the milk and yeast. Mix until combined. Add the baking powder, baking soda, gfree flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix until there are no lumps.

Lay a generous amount of plastic wrap on the counter and spinkle sugar on it. Plop the dough in the center of it, then cover it with an equal layer of plastic wrap. Roll the dough flat and even. You may need to readjust the plastic wrap a few times. Then take off the top layer of plastic wrap. Pour the cinnamon sugar on the dough evenly, leaving an inch wide strip on the end of the dough untouched. This will leave room for the sugar to squeeze out without falling out of your cinnamon rolls. Start rolling the dough on the side that has sugar on it, going towards the side with no sugar. Cut into even slices. I cut 10. Place in a round, greased glass pie pan. Bake for 25-30 min at 375 degrees until they're browned on top.



While you're waiting, start making the icing. In a small mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, milk, vanilla and powdered sugar. Mix well, gradually increasing speed until the icing has no lumps.



Take the cinnamon rolls out of the oven and spread the icing over it. Serve it on a plate and enjoy!

Nully's Tips:
If you need to use milk that's at room temperature, but you've just taken your milk out of the refrigerator, just pour some warm water in a glass dish and place your glass measuring cup containing the milk into the warm "bath", of course making sure you don't spill water in the milk. This will bring the temperature down much faster!



 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings fourth it's fruit in season, whose leaf also shall not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper. -  Psalm 1:3
