Cinnamon Coffee Rolls

Baking pleases me, especially trying out my own new recipes, and successfully.  Sunday of rest, it has been, and I have been enjoying it.  However, I had a particular idea today, to bake cinnamon coffee rolls, a recipe of mine.   It is made out of a scone dough but lighter and richer because of the cream and butter.  The mixture is rolled into a coil, and in between, it has layers of cinnamon, butter and glace orange peel.

It is delicious, the roll is soft in the middle and crusty, but it has a light buttery taste.  The cinnamon, coffee and the glace orange peel give extra flavours.  It goes well with black coffee or tea

The Recipe

Ingredients:
3 cups self-rising flour
75 g butter or margarine
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup milk
3/4 of sultanas
4 tablespoons glace orange peel, chopped
Filling between the dough
2 teaspoons dry instant coffee
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon soft margarine
Method
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C
Butter a baking tray
Place the flour in a large mixing bowl
Add in the butter, rub in into flour then add the sultanas
Add in the cream and milk at once, mix lightly to make a soft dough
Mix the butter, coffee, sugar and the chopped glace orange peel
To shape the rolls
This recipe makes 6 large rolls. You can make half of the recipe as I did.
Divide the dough into 6  balls
Take one out then cut into three sizes; one small,  large and third largest
Roll the dough into strips, put some of the coffee and cinnamon mixtures in every piece
Roll them out, starting from the smallest, to the largest.
Place on the prepared baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes.
To Serve: Serve with black coffee or Tea.

We went to the Gippsland Orchids Show this weekend,  I enjoyed the flower displays, they are colourful and so beautiful. 
That was the last show for this year, I shall be there again next year.  It has been a lovely Sunday.

On that note, I do love Sunday and Monday.  Sunday is a day of resting, loving it, I love Monday as it is a start of the week, the mark that I hope to have a fruitful week.

Have an enjoyable week.
until next post
