CINNAMON BUNS

When I was in high school my boyfriend's mother used to make the best cinnamon buns ever.  Luckily before we broke up I got the recipe!  So here it is, modified slightly to include whole wheat flour, coconut or maple sugar and organic ingredients.  

CINNAMON BUNS

1 cup organic whole wheat flour
1 cup organic unbleached flour
4 Tbsp organic butter, cold
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup organic milk
1/4 cup organic soft butter
1 cup maple sugar or coconut sugar
organic cinnamon

Method: Preheat oven to 450*.   Combine the flours, baking powder and sea salt in a bowl, whisk.  Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse meal.  Stir in milk until just combined and it forms a ball.  Knead on a floured counter no more than 20 X.  Roll out or press out with your hands into a rectangle.  Spread with the butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.  Roll into a cylinder and cut with a sharp knife into rolls.  Place in a greased baking dish and cook for 10-12 minutes.
