Cinnamon Bun Muffins


Hi Guys! I know its been a while since I've posted but my life has been so busy! I made these back in March but I'm kind of behind in uploading posts...don't worry- these were worth the wait!

Cinnamon Bun Muffins
makes 1 dozen muffins

Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk, or 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar added to it
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
3 to 3 1/2 cups flour

Filling:
2 TBL butter, room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tbsp milk or cream


Directions:
Pour milk into a measuring cup and add the lemon juice or vinegar. (Skip this step if you are using buttermilk.)

Measure the brown sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla and egg into a mixing bowl. Add the milk. Add the flour. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute or two.

Roll the dough into a 12-inch by 24-inch rectangle. Spread with butter. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

Roll the dough into a log beginning at the wide side. Stretch the log slightly. Cut into two-inch pieces and put the pieces into greased muffin tins or muffin tins lined with cupcake papers.

Bake at 375° Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes and then remove from the muffin tins.

Drizzle with icing (if using) when cool.
