What a pleasure to wake up to the aroma of home made cinnamon buns for breakfast. I have tried many recipes that I've searched through the internet and the following recipe was the most enjoyed at my home. Would like to share it with you.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (125 ml) water
1/2 cup (125 ml) milk
2 large eggs (slightly beaten)
1/3 cup (80 ml) oil. I use canola oil.
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
1/3 cup (125 ml) white sugar
4 cups (570 gm) all purpose white flour
2 tsp (10 ml) dried yeast
Filling:
1/3 cup (80 ml) melted butter
2/3 cup (165 ml) brown sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) cinnamon powder
1/2 cup (30 gm) chopped walnuts or pecans. I use walnuts.
1/2 cup (100 gm) raisins
Icing:
1 cup icing sugar
2 tbsp margarine
1 tsp (or drops at a time) milk
Method:
**Add ingredients to bread maker in the listed order. Select dough cyle for a large white loaf and allow cycle to complete.
**If making by hand, warm milk and water slightly and stir in a 1/2 tsp sugar, pinch of salt and sprinkle 2 tsp of dried yeast. Cover and allow to bubble. About 10 minutes.
Combine remaining dry ingredients and make a mound with a depression in the middle in which to add the wet ingredients including the beaten eggs, oil and yeast mixture. Combine and knead well until smooth. Allow to rise for about two hours and then punch down.
Take risen dough and punch down and knead. Roll out into a rectangle approximately 18" x 12" (45 cm x 30 cm). Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Scatter the raisins and chopped walnuts or pecans before rolling along the longest side of the dough. Cut into rounds and place in a greased baking pan allowing space for the dough to expand between each bun.
Allow to rise, covered for another 60 - 90 minutes (for me 60 minutes is fine) and then bake at 350F or 180C for 25-30 minutes.
When taking out of oven and still warm, prepare your icing. In a bowl add 1 cup icing sugar, 2 tbsp. of margarine and start with 1 tsp of milk and stir and add drops of milk until you reach a smooth (not too runny consistency) and spread over warm cinnamon buns.
Enjoy them while still warm or place in plastic container. After a while if they harden, just place in microwave for about 5 seconds and cinnamon buns are ready to eat.
