Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 0.75 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches in size.
Brush the rolled-out dough with the melted butter, then evenly sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon over the surface.
Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the whirlaways are golden brown and puffed.
While the whirlaways are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Once the whirlaways are baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each one.
Serve warm and enjoy these buttery, cinnamon-swirled treats!
