INGREDIENTS

- All-Purpose Flour - Buttermilk - Vegetable oil - Baking Soda - Active Yeast - Butter - Water - Granulated Sugar - Egg - Brown Sugar - Cinnamon

1

Stir together yeast and warm water with a bit of sugar and let sit until bubbly.

2

In another bowl, combine buttermilk and baking soda. And in a third, egg and oil.

3

Add all the wet ingredients to flour and salt.

4

Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. 

5

Gently knead the dough, adding more flour as needed, until elastic. Don't overwork the dough!

6

Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes until it has slightly risen.

7

Transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll the dough into a large rectangle.

8

Spread melted butter across the surface of the rolled dough.

9

Evenly spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture across the melted butter.

11

Roll the dough into a tight log. Don't make it too tight though, or the rolls won't rise.

12

Use a serrated knife or unscented dental floss to cut out the cinnamon rolls. Transfer to a pan.

13

Let the cinnamon rolls rise until double in size, then bake until ever-so-slightly golden brown.

14

Let them cool slightly, then spread on a Maple Icing (or icing of choice).

15

And enjoy!  Best served warm.
