Quick Cinnamon Buns- no yeast or rising!

I found this recipe on a random blog and thought I would try it. They were really good- even though it wasn't like a real cinnamon bun. I had them made and the kitchen cleaned up and we were eating warm cinnamon rolls all within about 45 minutes. You can't beat that!

Okay, my picture doesn't do them justice compared to the pictures where I found these babies. Check out the pictures on Desert Candy. Now are you drooling?

ingredients:

2 cups flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

4 tbsp (2 oz) butter, melted

3/4 cup buttermilk


filling:

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp cinnamon

tiny pinch of cloves


glaze:

2 tbsp cream cheese

2-3 tbsp milk

1 cup powdered sugar


1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Grease an 8-inch square pan. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a glass measuring cup combine the butter and buttermilk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Fold the mixture together in a few swift strokes, stirring only until combined. Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured work surface and roll to a rectangle about 10x18 inches.


2. Combine the filling ingredients and sprinkle them over the surface of the dough. Starting from the short side, gently roll up the dough. Cut the dough into 2 inch lengths, you should have about 8-9 rolls. Snuggle the rolls together in the prepared dish and bake for 20-25 minutes.


3. Stir together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the rolls.
