Steps:
- Melt the butter in a small pan or in a bowl in the microwave.
- Lightly grease a large baking tray with the extra butter.
- To make the glaze, mix 3 tablespoons of the melted butter in a bowl with the icing sugar and vanilla paste. Add the boiling water and 2 tablespoons of the buttermilk and stir to combine. Cover and chill.
- To make the cinnamon filling, mix 3 tablespoons of the melted butter with the cinnamon, mixed spice and both types of sugar. Add a pinch of salt, then stir the mixture together until it resembles wet sand. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- To make the dough, combine the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a mixing bowl and add a generous pinch of salt. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and pour in the remaining melted butter and the rest of the buttermilk. Stir with a rubber spatula until fully combined. The dough might seem dry, but keep stirring until the dry ingredients absorb the wet - the dough will be shaggy, not smooth, at this point.
- Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 3-4 minutes. When ready, the dough will look smooth and have a slight shine, and you will feel it is more elastic. Flour the work surface again and pat the dough out to a rough 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 in) rectangle. Sprinkle the filling in an even layer over the dough, leaving a rough 1 cm (½ in) border. Press the filling into the dough. Roll up the dough lengthways up as tightly as you can, to form a long sausage shape. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Transfer the buns to the prepared tray, cut-side up, leaving about 2 cm (¾ in) between each. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffed up, golden and sticky. Cool for 30 minutes, then remove the glaze from the refrigerator and spread over the buns. Serve immediately or let the glaze set.
- Make ahead
- Make the glaze first and leave it to stand in the refrigerator. As the glaze cools, the butter begins to set and thicken, so it resembles a cream-cheese frosting. Make the buns a day ahead and reheat in the oven without the glaze.
- The shortcut
- No yeast translates to 1 ½ hours of your life back. You're welcome. Pat the dough out; don't bother dirtying your rolling pin.

Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast and instant yeast require different methods of activation. Always follow the instructions on the yeast packet to ensure proper activation.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients, especially high-quality butter and milk, will result in better-tasting cinnamon buns.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the buns tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising the dough is between 75°F and 85°F (24°C and 29°C).
- Roll the dough out evenly: Rolling the dough out evenly will help ensure that the buns bake evenly.
- Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly: Spreading the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly will help ensure that each bun is evenly flavored.
- Bake the buns until they are golden brown: The buns are done baking when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
With careful attention to detail and a little practice, you can make delicious homemade cinnamon buns that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different variations, such as adding raisins, nuts, or cream cheese frosting, to create your own unique cinnamon bun recipe. No matter how you choose to make them, cinnamon buns are sure to be a hit!
