Image is focused on one icing topped cinnamon scroll in the foreground with more scroll in the background.These cinnamon scrolls are definitely hard to beat. They’re soft and fluffy, packed with cinnamon, and most importantly super easy to make!

This cinnamon scroll recipe is adapted from one of the most popular recipes that I have shared on the blog – my 3 ingredient scones! I first made 3 ingredient scones a few years back and it has changed the way I make my scones. Since then I have created a fruit scone version and a chocolate chip scone version and they’re also very popular in my house!

When I first made the 3 ingredient scones I had a feeling that I could adapt the recipe to make some great scrolls.  I just hadn’t got around to trying it until recently!

Overhead view of a batch of scrolls that have been drizzled with icing.Actually I can’t believe that I waited so long because these are the best cinnamon scrolls that you could ever find! I have made these quite a few times over the last couple of months. I had to perfect the recipe didn’t I? 😉

These cinnamon scrolls are wonderfully soft and fluffy and you get a delicious cinnamon hit from both the scroll and the icing! I could eat these all day every day; they’re comfort food pure and simple for me. I think that’s because my mum used to make scrolls like these when I was a kid!

The recipe is super easy and has the added bonus that there’s no yeast involved. You don’t have to wait for the dough to rise. In fact you can have these in the oven in around 20 minutes!

Overhead view of a batch of freshly backed scrolls that have not been iced yet.Another great thing about these cinnamon scrolls is that they can be made ahead of time and frozen. If I’m going to freeze some I gently separate them with a butter knife before I drizzle the icing over. That way I can put them in in airtight container in the freezer and just grab one out when I want one.

To reheat, just pop one in the microwave for a few seconds on low to medium and it’s like it just came out of the oven. Even with the icing on them they still thaw really well in the microwave. I usually just heat them enough so that they are just slightly warm. That makes them soft and fluffy again without melting the icing!

Of course if you prefer to re heat yours in the oven then you would be best to freeze them without the icing.

One single cinnamon scroll that has been drizzled with icing is seen in the foreground. More iced scrolls can be seen in the background.

Author: The Links Site
Recipe type: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: Scones
Serves: 12
Ingredients
Scrolls
  • 2⅔ cups (400g) of self raising flour (plus extra for kneading)
  • ½ cup (80g) of icing/powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup of thickened cream/heavy cream
  • ¾ cup of lemonade (where I live that’s what we call a carbonated soda such as Sprite)
  • 1 tablespoon (20g) of melted butter
  • 1½ teaspoons of ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (60g) of granular sugar
Cinnamon Icing
  • ⅔ cup (120g) of icing sugar/powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of very hot water (I use water from a recently boiled kettle)
Instructions
To make scrolls
  1. Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a 25cm (10 inch) square baking dish with baking paper.
  2. Place flour and icing sugar in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Add cream and lemonade and mix well.
  4. Turn the mixture out onto a well-floured board and knead with extra flour until smooth (mixture will remain a bit sticky).
  5. Roll the dough out into a 25 x 32cm (10 x 13 inch) rectangle about 1 cm thick (dust board with flour to prevent sticking).
  6. Brush the dough with the butter and then sprinkle with combined cinnamon and sugar.
  7. Roll the dough up into a log starting from one of the shorter edges
  8. Cut into 12 pieces and place (cut side up) into prepared baking dish so that the scrolls are just touching.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
To make icing
  1. Combine icing sugar, cinnamon, and hot water in a heatproof mug and mix thoroughly.
  2. Mixture needs to be slightly runny so that you can drizzle it over the scrolls.
  3. If too thick add more water 1 -2 drops at a time, if too runny add more icing sugar 1 tablespoon at a time.
  4. Allow the scrolls to cool slightly and then drizzle with the icing and serve!

    Thank you so much for your recipe.
    I’ve never left a review though felt I needed too this time as it helped during the covid19 crisis when we have found it impossible to buy yeast.
    I came across your recipe as my son requested scrolls for his isolation 18th birthday.
    These were amazing. I had no lemonade, substituting pasito in its place & covered them with a cream cheese frosting.
    Big hit with all of my children & I’ve made them multiple times already.
    Thank you again & stay safe

      I’m so glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed these scrolls Angela. I’m also delighted to hear that my recipe was used for an 18th birthday treat! I’ve been desperate to get my hands on some yeast as well. I managed to pick up some last week but it seems to be gone from the shelves again this week. Hopefully all the stocks of baking supplies will be back to normal soon.
      Thanks again for the feedback and I hope that you and your family also stay safe!

    Great quick, easy recipe my family absolutely loved. I didn’t have any cream so just used the leftover Greek yoghurt I had on hand and added a bit more icing sugar and they were soooo light and fluffy, thank you

      Glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed them Danielle! Also thanks for sharing that you were able to successfully use Greek yoghurt, this might come in handy if I’m ever out of cream! Thankfully that doesn’t happen to me lately as I have just discovered long life cream. I just keep a carton in the pantry and I can make some of these whenever I have a craving!
