Swedish Cinnamon Buns with Cream Filling

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• ¾ cup milk
• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup sugar
• 2 tbsp cinnamon
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Warm the 0.75 cup milk and 0.25 cup butter in a saucepan until butter melts, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 packet yeast and 2 tbsp sugar; let sit 5 minutes until foamy.

2. 2

   Mix in 2.5 cups flour and 0.5 tsp salt to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth, then let rise in a greased bowl for 30 minutes until doubled.

3. 3

   Roll dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle. Spread with remaining 0.25 cup softened butter, sprinkle with 0.25 cup sugar and 2 tbsp cinnamon. Roll tightly from the long side and cut into 12 slices.

4. 4

   Place slices in a greased 9x13 inch pan, cover, and let rise 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F.

5. 5

   Bake buns for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. While warm, whisk 0.5 cup heavy cream with 0.25 cup powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

6. 6

   Spread cream filling over warm buns, then dust with remaining 0.25 cup powdered sugar and sprinkle with coconut flakes if desired.

7. 7

   Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
