Traditional Norwegian cinnamon buns
Oleh ronniechops, I'm adding my own review here because I absolutely ADORE these buns. This is the way my mum used to make them and her mum before her. Slightly tweaked by myself as I use brown sugar for the filling rather than granulated kind. I have also added the vanilla sugar in the dough and therefore reduced the original amount of granulated sugar which was 150g :)

Langkah 1
melt butter and mix with milk. make sure the mixture is 30 C, then dissolve yeast in mixture. You can use dry yeast instead, but then you want to mix it with the dry ingredients and increase the temperature of the milk by a couple of degrees. However, they do turn out best with fresh yeast. If you're using dry yeast 25 g should be enough
Langkah 3
add milk mixture to dry mixture and knead for 3-4 mins. if you're using a machine, mix for 8 minutes
Langkah 5
When risen knead a couple of times only. roll the dough into a rectangle. Size depends on how chunky you want the buns. I usually roll it out till it's 5-8 mm thick.
Langkah 6
you'll want to handle your dough gently from now as it is rising. smooth on a thin layer of margarine, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon in even layers on top. I generally use more sugar than I think I need as some of it will melt away in the oven. Don't really measure out this part
Langkah 7
roll into a sausage. make sure it's pretty tightly rolled. cut 1 inch slices. I use my index finger to measure, so about the length of the two first joints ;)
Langkah 8
place on baking sheets with the sliced side up. I normally place 12 on each sheet to give them enough room to rise. leave to rise under kitchen towels in a warm room for an hour.
