Easy Cinnamon Buns

Prep Time: 15 mins Cooking Time: 10 mins

Dough Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup white flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup of milk

1/4 cup of melted butter

1/4 cup canola oil

extra flour for dusting

Filling Ingredients:

2 tablespoons oil

3 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons brown sugar

lots of cinnamon for sprinkling

Glaze Ingredients:

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2) In a large bowl sift together all the dry dough ingredients. Stir in milk, butter and oil until dough becomes thick. Gather into a ball and place on a floured work surface. Flour a rolling pin and roll out dough into large rectangle.

3) In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and brown sugar for the filling. Using a pastry brush, paint the oil on top of the dough. Sprinkle most of the sugar mixture on top of the oil leaving a table spoon or two for topping the cinnamon roll. Generously sprinkle cinnamon over the entire filling. Roll dough up and cut into sections with a very sharp knife. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture on top of cinnamon rolls.

4) Bake in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes. They should be slightly brown on top.

5) Meanwhile, make the glaze by slowly whisking milk into sugar until it is a nice smooth consistency.

6) When rolls are done remove from oven and drizzle glaze on top of each roll. Serve warm. Makes about a dozen cinnamon rolls.
