Recipe for Buckwheat Cinnamon Rolls

Cook Time25 minutes
Servings: 0 about 10 cinnamon rolls

Ingredients

For the rolls:

  • *2 cups buckwheat flour I used Acadian light buckwheat flour from Bouchard Family Farm
  • *3 tablespoons cold butter preferably organic/pastured
  • *3/4 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • *2 eggs preferably organic/pastured
  • *2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

For the filling:

  • *1/2 cup organic brown sugar
  • *2 tablespoons cold butter preferably organic/pastured
  • *1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • *1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon optional

For the icing:

  • *4 tablespoons organic powdered sugar
  • *2 tablespoons heavy cream preferably organic/raw

Instructions

  • 1. In a medium bowl, cut butter into flour using a pastry blender or your fingers, then mix in the yogurt, eggs, and the maple syrup with a wooden spoon. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball. Wrap dough in plastic, and store in the refrigerator overnight.
  • 2. Remove dough from the refrigerator and heat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, make the filling by mixing the brown sugar with the butter, cinnamon and cardamom until crumbly.
  • 3. Lightly flour your surface (use additional buckwheat flour or brown rice flour) and roll the dough out into a rectangle measuring approximately 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the filling all over the dough. Roll up starting at the long end closest to you, then slice the dough into 10-12 equal pieces.
  • 4. Place cinnamon rolls on a parchment- or silpat-lined baking sheet (or use a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet to bake them, like I did).
  • 5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden. Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool slightly before using a spoon to drizzle on the icing.
