How to make Cinnamon Buns 10th Saturday April

On Saturday, I made cinnamon buns  for my family dessert. I used a recipe  from "The Very Best Baking  Book for Children "

Here's is the recipe:

 250g ( 9oz)  strong white bread flour
  7g     (1/4 oz ) easy - blend dried yeast
1 teaspoon of caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
100ml  milk
50g ( 2oz ) butter 
1 medium egg
50g (2oz) brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
1 teaspoon runny honey

Method  - dough

1. Put the flour, yeast, caster sugar and salt in a large bowl and stir.
2.  Put the milk and 25g (1oz) of butter in a pan.  Put the pan over a low heat until the butter melts.  Turn off the heat.
3.  Break the egg into a cup and beat it with a fork.
4.  Add the milk and egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir until it comes together in a ball.
5. Put the dough on a clean surface dusted with flour.  Knead it for 10 minutes, until it is smooth and springy.
6.  Leave the dough, in a clean bowl, to prove for 1.5-2 hours.
7.  After this time, the dough should have doubled in size.  Knead it again gently to squeeze out any air bubbles.
8.  Put the remaining 25g (1oz) butter in a pan.  Heat gently.  When the butter melts, take the pan off the heat, stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.


9.  Roll out the dough into a rectangle around 20x40cm.  Spread the butter mixture over it, leaving the edges bare.  Roll it up from one of the long ends.
10.  Cut across the roll to make 9 pieces.  Arrange them in the tin in 3 rows of 3, then cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise.  Leave for 40 minutes.



11. Heat the oven to 220 C or gas mark 7. Take off the tea towel and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the buns are golden brown.
12.  Leave the buns to cool for 15 minutes.  Then, turn the tin upside down over a wire rack and shake so that the buns pop out. Turn them over and ice them. Yum!
