Ingredients
For the Dough
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
1 packet instant yeast
¾ cup Clover Golden Moon
3 tbsp unsalted butter, plus 2 tablespoons to grease bowl and cast iron
1 large egg, beaten
For the Filling
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp freshly ground green cardamom
¼ tsp turmeric
¼ tbsp Himalayan pink sea salt
½ tsp ginger
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
For the Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
½ tsp pure vanilla paste or extract
2–3 tablespoons Clover Golden Moon
Directions
- 1To make the dough: In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, Himalayan pink sea salt, and instant yeast. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- 2In a medium sized saucepan (or in the microwave), combine Clover Golden Moon and butter and warm over medium heat.
- 3Stir until butter is melted and ingredients are warm to the touch, but not boiling, as this will kill the yeast.
- 4Add the wet ingredients into the dry-ingredient mixing bowl.
- 5Add in beaten egg. Stir to combine using a spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- 6Lightly flour a surface, and knead the dough for approximately 3 minutes. The dough will be firm and slightly shiny, and should easily form a large ball.
- 7Place the dough ball into a clean mixing bowl lightly greased with additional butter. Cover loosely with a towel and let it rest for approximately 10 minutes while making the filling.
- 8To make the filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar and spices. Mix until combined and set aside.
- 9Use your hands to gently shape your ball into a rectangle, giving yourself a shape to start rolling with.
- 10Using a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough to approximately 14 inches long by 8 inches wide.
- 11Using a pastry brush, spread butter on top of the dough. Sprinkle spice mixture on top of the butter.
- 12Roll lengthwise, then cut into approximately ¼ inch pieces, making for 12 cinnamon buns.
- 13Grease your cast iron with remaining butter.
- 14Place individual cinnamon rolls into cast iron, cover loosely with a towel, and allow to rise for at least 1 hour.
- 15Simultaneously, preheat your oven to 375°.
- 16After an hour, your rolls should have puffed up. Place in the oven at 375°, and bake for approximately 23-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- 17To make the icing: Combine powdered sugar, vanilla paste/extract, and Clover Golden Moon Milk in a bowl whisking until combined.
- 18Once cinnamon buns have partially cooled, spread glaze mixture on top.
- 19 Enjoy warm, or within the next 3 days stored at room temperature. Enjoy with a glass of Clover Golden Moon for the ultimate spiced treat!
