Kanelsnegle

Kanelsnegle

Kanelsnegle, also known as cinnamon rolls, are a delicious Danish pastry filled with cinnamon and sugar.

Ingredients

  • Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
  • Powdered sugar - 1 cup
  • Brown sugar - 1/2 cup
  • Ground cinnamon - 2 tablespoons
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup, melted
  • Granulated sugar - 1/2 cup
  • Milk - 1 cup, warm
  • Active dry yeast - 2 1/4 teaspoons
  • All - purpose flour - 4 cups

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
  2. Add the melted butter and salt to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
  4. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dough.
  8. Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  9. Place the slices in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Bake the kanelsnegle for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the warm kanelsnegle and serve.
