  • About

On any stroll through New York’s streets, there’s often an enticing smell of freshly baked cinnamon scrolls coming out of cafés. These frosted pastries are a fixture of American coffee culture and just the thing for sweetening a cold winter’s day while you warm up with a steaming cup of tea or cappuccino.

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 250 g (9 oz) flour
  • 1 tsp dried yeast

Method

For the dough, combine the flour, yeast, salt, sugar and vanilla sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the milk, butter and egg and knead everything for about 5 minutes to make a smooth, pliable dough. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and leave the dough to rise for about 1½ hours.

Dust your benchtop with flour and roll the dough out to a thin rectangle about 25 x
