Cinnamon Scrolls!

I love cooking (as you can probably tell from my previous post for cookies)! So Today I am going to share with you guys one of my favourite recipes for cinnamon buns/scrolls these are so good and are great warm and with ice cream believe me once you start eating these you can not stop! Unlike other recipes the dough is a scone dough rather than a bread dough so you really get the cinnamon flavour infusing the dough.

For the dough:
2 cups self raising flour(plus extra for flouring the surface!)
pinch salt
90grm butter chopped
2/3 cup milk

For the filling
120grms butter (or margarine) softened
4 tablespoons soft brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon (3 if you like cinnamon)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

For the icing
1 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Dash of maple syrup (about half a table spoon)

What to do:
1. preheat oven to 210 degrees
2. Sift flour and salt in a bowl and rub the chopped the butter into the flour with your finger tips (about the consistency of wet sand).
3. Make a well in the centre and add most of the milk, mix lightly with a flat bladed knife until it forms a soft dough.
4. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface.

5. Roll out dough to a 25 x 40cm rectangle of 5mm thickness.

To Make Filling:
1. cream butter (or margarine), brown sugar and the cinnamon with electric beaters (or a wooden spoon) until light and fluffy.

2. Spread the mix on the dough evenly, roll up dough on the long side and cut into 3cm pieces.
3. Place scrolls on to a greased tray cut side up and cook for 15 minutes or until golden.

Icing:
1. mix the icing ingredients (adding more hot water if needed) and drizzle over the scrolls in the pan.
2. Serve immediately while still warm.
