  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup of milk

For the Filling for your Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbs ground cinnamon or to your taste
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 4 tbs unsalted butter

Mix until it looks like dried sand.

While rolls cook make the glaze.

  • 2 cups confectioner sugar
  • 2 tables butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°C
  2. In a smaller bowl combine the wet ingredients well and then slowly add to dry ingredients, scrapping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Don't be afraid to get your hands in there, remember gluten free is always a little dryer when mixed.
  4. Flour the counter and roll out your dough to about 1/4 of an inch, keeping it rectangular
  5. Alternate method for rolling gluten free cinnamon rolls:
  6. You can use a piece of plastic wrap on your placed on a slightly damp counter with a little added sugar sprinkled on top. Scrape dough onto plastic wrap. Gently lay another piece of plastic wrap on top of the dough and pat the dough down into a rectangle shape.  Roll the dough out (with plastic wrap on top) repositioning as you go.  Should end up with 8" by 16" rectangle.

  9. Spread on top of the rolled out cinnamon dough leaving 1 inch along the edge for rolls to seal.
  10. Roll into a log using the plastic wrap.  Using bottom sheet of plastic wrap to lift the edge of the dough and roll it up, forming a long cylinder.
  11. Cut into 1 inch thick slices and place into a greased muffin tin.
  12. (Quick tip - you can use dark thread to cut if you are afraid of squishing down you rolls.  Just place string underneath and cross over the top pulling the thread through.)
  13. Allow cinnamon rolls to rise in a warm draft free place for about 30 minutes, or until nearly double in size.
  14. Bake in preheated 350°C oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are a nice golden brown.
  15. Mix it confectioners sugar, butter and vanilla together, slowly add the milk until glaze is the consistency you want.
  16. Glaze will harden so use right away.
  17. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from tray.
  18. Spread glaze over the top and enjoy!
