Cinnamon buns
Description
1. First, sift the flour with baking soda to aerate it with oxygen. 2. Combine cold butter (margarine can also be used in the recipe for cinnamon buns) with the flour and rub together with your hands until it turns into crumbs. 3. Add sugar and sour cream, then knead the dough. 4. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 25–35 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Traditionally, cinnamon is paired with apples, although pears or even bananas work well too. Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. 6. Place them in a small bowl, add cinnamon, and mix thoroughly. Optionally, you can caramelize the apples or sprinkle them with lemon juice. 7. Pinch off a small piece of dough and roll it out. 8. Place a spoonful of filling in the center, pinch the edges together, then place the cinnamon buns onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 9. Bake in a preheated oven—these buns will turn golden brown in just 15 minutes. 10. Let them cool slightly, then generously dust with powdered sugar, sifted through a fine sieve. This simple recipe for cinnamon buns is perfect for breakfast or serving with tea to guests.
