Ingredients
Dough:
  • 3 cups + 1 tbsp Spelt Flour
  • 2 tbsp White Sugar
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 3½ tbsp Butter (50gr)
  • ¾ Cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Filling:
  • 3 tbsp Butter – Room Temperature (soft)
  • ½ Cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Butter – Room Temperature (for topping)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C)
  2. Prepare muffin tray and grease each cup with butter
Preparing the Dough:
  1. Place milk ,butter and vanilla extract in small saucepan, heat over medium heat until butter melts and set aside.
  2. Mix the other dough ingredients all together and then add the milk mix in. Using a mixer, mix only until fully combined (careful, do not over mix) and you get soft non sticky dough.
  3. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 18X10 inch and ¼ inch thick.
Preparing the filling:
  1. In a small bowl mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together. Set aside
Assembling the rolls:
  1. Using a butter knife (or your fingers) spread the 3 tbsp butter (from filling ingredients) on top of the rolled out dough.
  2. Sprinkle with the cinnamon mix. Don’t use the entire mix; leave about 1tsp in the bowl.
  3. Roll the dough on its longer side (so you get a longer roll) and cut into 12 equal slices (about 1 inch or 3 cm each)
  4. Place each slice/rolled piece into a greased muffin cup in your muffin tray
  5. Using your fingers or butter knife, spread a bit of butter on top of each slice (from the 1 tbsp butter you set aside from the filling ingredients) and sprinkle with the leftover cinnamon mix.
  6. Place in oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove when done and serve as is or with butter.
