Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 0.25 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant Yeast
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, instant yeast, ground cardamom, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a medium saucepan, heat milk and butter over low heat until butter melts. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg. Add the lukewarm milk-butter mixture and vanilla extract to the egg, and whisk together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms. It should be soft and pliable.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
On a lightly floured surface (use more gluten-free flour), roll the dough into a 12x15 inch rectangle.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar and ground cinnamon, spreading evenly across the surface.
Carefully roll the dough from the long side into a tight log. Cut it into 12 equal pieces.
Place the pieces into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and water together until smooth.
Once done, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling with the glaze.
Serve warm, and enjoy!
