Method
Pastry
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut-in shortening.
- Add the milk, stirring with a knife until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
- Knead the dough until it "springs back" when you push your hand into it.
- Roll the dough into a 9" by 13" (23cm by 30cm) rectangle. Use a 9" by 13" (23cm by 30cm) baking pan as a mould for the size.
Filling
- Brush butter over the dough, leaving about 1/4" (0.75cm) around the edges clear.
- Combine brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle on buttered dough, leaving about 1/4" around the edges clear.
- Press the sugar mixture down. Roll the dough lengthwise, as tight as you can.
- Trim the edges, cut into eight pieces.
- Arrange the buns in a small pan, so that all the buns are touching. Bake at 425°F (210c) for 15-20 minutes.
Topping
- Combine icing sugar and liquid. Whisk together, spread on buns after they have cooled.
Conversion Notes
- ↑ Weight conversions from USDA National Nutrient Database. Original recipe ingredient order preserved. Presumed whole milk of 3.25% milkfat. Pinch defined as 1/16 tsp.
- ↑ Baker's percentage is high and dough may be too soft to easily manage.
- ↑ Brown sugar presumed as packed. Filling sugar weight is 86% of dough's flour weight.
- ↑ Icing or powdered sugar presumed as unsifted. Icing sugar weight is 48% of dough's flour weight.
