Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, egg, honey, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with gluten-free flour and roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Spread the mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Roll up the dough tightly from the long side to form a log.
Cut the log into 12 equal sections and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each bun.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, honey, and milk until smooth.
Allow the buns to cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade gluten-free honey buns.
