Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 cup salted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk (2%), heated to 100- 110°F
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Directions

  1. Combine flour, 3 tbsp sugar and yeast in bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  2. Add milk and beaten eggs to flour mixture and stir just until combined.

On sprinkled surface, use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out one ball into a round about 1/8 inch thick; flip dough over while rolling to get sugar mixture on both sides. Cut round into 8 wedges. Starting with wide end, roll up each wedge jelly-roll fashion. Gently pinch centre of rolls to secure.
  9. Repeat procedure with remaining sugar mixture and balls.
