Ingredients:
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
– 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
– 2 tablespoons milk
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in dense rolls.
5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together. Roll it out into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
6. Brush the melted butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the melted butter on the dough.
8. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans and raisins over the cinnamon sugar mixture.
9. Starting from the long side of the rectangle, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Seal the edges by pinching them together.
10. Using a sharp knife or a piece of dental floss, cut the log into 1 1/2 inch thick slices.
11. Place the slices into the greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
13. While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
14. Once the rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm rolls.
15. Serve the Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls warm and enjoy every delectable bite!
