Yes, I made them from scratch!

Freshly made kanelbullar (cinnamon rolls) on a cold winter’s day, what can be better? It was my first time making these myself and I even watched a video to make sure I got the twisty bit right!

They turned out just like the bakery’s, complete with pearl sugar that I was able to find at Ikea.

Did you happen to notice the tray they’re on? …. I can’t wait to show you our January featured designer so I had to slip in a little sneak peek for you! ;-)

On that note, don’t forget that today is the last day to buy your favorite pieces from our 2009 designers. Tomorrow we move on to 2010!

Happy NYE!

btw, I wouldn’t dare be so cruel as to leave you without the recipe for the delicious treats above.

Kanelbullar (Cinnamon rolls)*
Makes 36-40 rolls… no kidding!

Rolls:
3 1/2 oz unsalted butter
2 cups milk
1 3/4 oz fresh yeast
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cardamom
5 1/2 cups flour

Filling:
3 1/2 oz unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon

Garnish:
1 egg
Pearl sugar

Melt butter, add milk and heat to 98ºF.

Crumble yeast in a large bowl. Add milk mixture and stir until yeast is dissolved. Add salt, sugar, cardamom and most of the sugar (saving some for rolling out). Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Mix butter, sugar and cinnamon.

Knead dough a few minutes in bowl. Turn out onto a floured board and knead in remaining flour. Roll out dough into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Spread sugar and cinnamon mixture all the way to edges.

Roll up and cut into 3/4 in slices (or use the method in the video above like I did for the real thing). Place on greased cookie sheets, cover and let rise for about another 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 475ºF. Brush rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle with pearl sugar. Bake 5-10 minutes. Cool covered.

Enjoy!
