How to Make No Rise Cinnamon Buns Without Yeast
Cinnamon Roll Recipe No Yeast
Easy way to make no rise cinnamon rolls with no yeast required
Ingredients
- No Rise Cinnamon Roll Recipe Ingredients
- For the cinnamon buns:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup butter, cold, cut into Tablespoons
- ¾ cup buttermilk, cold
- For the cream cheese drizzle:
- 2 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup softened margarine
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- For the cinnamon filling:
- 1/2 cup softened margarine
- 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375F / Gas mark 5 / 190C
In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients - combine flour, sugar, baking powder & salt
Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or stand mixer until pea size pieces.
Add the cold buttermilk all at once and mix until dough forms a ball.
Roll dough onto a lightly floured work surface, into a large rectangular shape.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cinnamon filling ingredients.
Spread evenly over the top of your cinnamon bun dough
then roll the shortest ends toward each other.
Cut the cinnamon bun log into 2-3″ equal pieces using a sharp knife and place in a buttered casserole dish or baking dish
Bake for 18-22 minutes in your preheated oven, until the buns are golden brown.
While the cinnamon buns are cooling, whip together the cream cheese drizzle, adding more sugar for a thicker drizzle, or more corn syrup for a lighter drizzle depending on how you prefer your cream cheese icing.
Drizzle this over the top of the rolls and enjoy
Notes
Increase quantities for a higher yield. Store in an airtight container.
Substitutions – Can I substitute the buttermilk for whole milk in this recipe?
Well, no… unless you add another ingredient to help balance it out. Buttermilk has a higher acidity than regular whole milk. So if you want to substitute with whole milk, you need to add 1.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
These cinnamon rolls are delicious with soft dough, and the cream cheese frosting is the best part!
Enjoy these warm rolls at any time of the day.
