Just when you thought the world couldn't improve upon cinnamon rolls, this dreamy mashup comes along. Adapted from "Procrastibaking: 100 Recipes for Getting Nothing Done in the Most Delicious Way Possible" (Atria, 2020) by Erin Gardner, they are actually quite easy to put together: Toss together a basic scone dough, then roll it out, spread it with a sweet cinnamon-butter filling, cut it into strips, roll it up, score and bake.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups/285 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup/65 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup/170 grams cold unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), cubed
1/2 cup/120 milliliters heavy cream, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup/55 grams dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup/125 grams confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the cubed butter, then pinch and press the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  • Make a well in the center of the sandy mixture and add the heavy cream and vanilla. Toss and fold until it comes together to form a loose dough.
  • Dust your work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough two or three times to bring it together. Use your hands to press the dough into a 5-by-14-inch rectangle with a long side facing you. Imagine the dough divided vertically into three equal sections, like a standard sheet of paper folded to fit into an envelope. Carefully lift the section on the right and fold it over the center section. Lift the section on the left and fold it over the other two layers. When you look at your dough from the front, you should see three distinct layers. Turn the little dough package so that one of the folded edges is facing you.
  • Use your hands to press the layered dough back down into a long rectangle similar in size to the first one you made, flouring your work surface and dough as needed.
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the filling on top of the dough and spread it out using a spoon or silicone spatula to fully cover the top surface of the dough.
  • Cut the dough lengthwise into four equal strips. Pick up a strip and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet, filling-side up. Roll it up tightly, then stand it up on one of its flat sides in the center of the sheet. Pick up another strip, and wrap that strip, filling-side in, around the standing coil starting where the first coil left off. Repeat with the two remaining strips. Gently push the circle of coiled dough down to adhere the strips together and flatten the dough to about 9 inches in diameter. Cover and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the chilled roll into 8 wedges, leaving the cut pieces together in a circle instead of pulling them apart.
  • Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the scones have puffed and browned around the edges, 20 to 24 minutes.
  • Transfer the sheet to a rack to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before carefully moving the warm scones onto a cutting board or serving platter. (If you don't let them cool first, they will fall apart when you try to move them.) Using a knife, gently slice to separate the 8 individual scones, but don't pull them apart.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and vanilla with enough milk until the glaze is spreadable. Drizzle it over the scones and serve.

GIANT CINNAMON ROLLS



Giant Cinnamon Rolls image

As a young newlywed, I thought I'd take it upon myself to make cinnamon rolls because I thought that was the hallmark of a good baker. The rolls were dense like hockey pucks and somewhat flavorless. Our dear black lab Annie wouldn't even eat one. I practiced for a couple of months and entered a contest at the Iowa State Fair, and I won! -Cristen Clark, FoodandSwine.com

GIANT CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY



Giant Cinnamon Roll Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, whole milk, granulated sugar, active dry yeast, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, butter, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, cream cheese, butter, whole milk, vanilla extract, powdered sugar

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
2 cups whole milk, warm to the touch
½ cup granulated sugar
1 pack active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
¾ cup butter, softened
¾ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Generously butter a 1-inch (2.5 cm) cast-iron skillet or cake pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If hotter, allow to cool slightly before proceeding.
  • Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size. Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95 grams) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½ inch (1.5 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, spreading right to the edges.
  • Using a pizza cutter, make 3 horizontal cuts to divide the dough into 4 long, evenly-sized strips. Starting from the top, roll the first strip up from right to left. Take the first roll and place it on top of the next strip, starting again on the right side and rolling up right to left, building on the first. Continue with the remaining strips until you have a giant cinnamon roll.
  • Place the giant cinnamon roll in the prepared skillet or cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and leave to rise for 30 minutes. The cinnamon roll should expand to the edges of the pan during this time.
  • Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
  • Uncover the cinnamon roll and bake for 45 minutes. Cover the roll with foil to prevent the outside from burning, and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
  • While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Remove the cinnamon roll from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Once cool, remove from the pan and drizzle the frosting over the roll before serving.
  • Enjoy!
