Cooking Instructions
1.
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square pan with foil. Brush with melted butter.
2.
Combine the
Dark Brown Sugar (2/3 cup)
,
Granulated Sugar (3 Tbsp)
,
Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (2 tsp)
,
Ground Cloves (1/8 tsp)
, and
Salt (1/8 tsp)
.
3.
Add
Unsalted Butter (1 Tbsp)
and stir with a fork or fingers until the mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
4.
In another large bowl, whisk together the
Unbleached All Purpose Flour (3 cups)
,
Granulated Sugar (2 Tbsp)
,
Baking Powder (1 tsp)
,
Baking Soda (1/2 tsp)
, and
Salt (1/2 tsp)
.
5.
Add
Unsalted Butter (3 Tbsp)
and
Low-Fat Buttermilk (1 1/4 cups)
to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until the liquid is absorbed (the dough will be sticky and look shaggy), about 30 seconds.
6.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead, lightly until just smooth and no longer shaggy, about 30 seconds.
7.
Lightly dust the surface again. Pat the dough into a small rectangle, then roll into a 12-inch x 9-inch rectangle, dusting more flour sparingly if necessary so the dough doesn't stick to the rolling pin.
8.
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of
Unsalted Butter (1 Tbsp)
. Sprinkle the dough evenly with the brown sugar filling, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Using your hand, press the filling firmly into the dough.
9.
Starting at the long side, roll the dough, pressing lightly, to form a tight log. Pinch the seam to seal.
10.
Roll the log seam-side down and, using a serrated knife, cut it evenly into 9 pieces.
11.
Turn the pieces over on their flat sides, and slightly flatten each piece with your hand to seal the open edges and keep the filling in place.
12.
Place the rolls in prepared pan and brush with 1 tablespoon of
Unsalted Butter (1 Tbsp)
. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 23-25 minutes.
13.
Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the
Cream Cheese (1 1/2 Tbsp)
,
Buttermilk (2 Tbsp)
until thick and smooth. Add
Powdered Confectioners Sugar (3/4 cup)
and whisk until smooth glaze forms.
14.
When the buns are done, use the foil overhang to lift them out of the baking pan and onto a wire rack. Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully separate the buns, using a knife if necessary.
15.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the buns. Serve warm out of the oven, or store in airtight container and reheat.
