Method

Pastry

  1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt
  2. Cut-in shortening
  3. Add the milk, stirring with a knife until the dough is soft and slightly sticky
  4. Knead the dough until it "springs back" when you push your hand into it
  5. Roll the dough into a 9" by 13" (23 cm by 30 cm) rectangle (use a 9" by 13" (23 cm by 30 cm) baking pan as a mould for the size)

Filling

  1. Brush butter over the dough, leaving about ¼" (0.75 cm) around the edges clear
  2. Combine brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and salt
  3. Sprinkle on buttered dough, leaving about ¼" (0.75 cm) around the edges clear
  4. Press the sugar mixture down
  5. Roll the dough lengthwise, as tight as you can
  6. Trim the edges and cut into 8 pieces
  7. Arrange the rolls in a small pan, so that all the rolls are touching
  8. Bake at 410°F (210ºC) for 15-20 minutes

Topping

  1. Combine icing sugar and cream
  2. Whisk them together
  3. Spread the mixture on the rolls when they have finished baking

Conversion Notes

  1. 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.
  2. Baker's percentage is high and dough may be too soft to easily manage.
  3. Brown sugar presumed as packed.
  4. Icing or powdered sugar not specified as sifted or unsifted, presumed unsifted. Used light cream, also known as coffee or table cream for conversion.
