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