  • To prepare the filling, combine all sugar and spices in a bowl. Mix to combine and then add the 2 tbsp of melted butter. Mix together until it resembles sand. Set aside.
  • Prepare the dough by add all the dries in a mixing bowl. Mix to evenly distribute the ingredients. Combine the buttermilk and 2 tbsp of melted butter. Add the wet ingredients to the dries and mix just until it comes together to form a shaggy dough. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface.
  • Knead the dough just until it forms a smooth ball.
  • Press the dough into a 12" x 9" rectangle. Spread the 2 tbsp of softened butter over the dough while leaving a 1/2" border. Spread the sugar filling evenly over the dough. Press the mixture in with your fingers of with a rolling pin.
  • Roll the dough into a log from one long end of the rectangle. Press the seams together at the end. Using a string of sharp knife, cut the log into 8 pieces. Gently open and flatten the cut side of the bun and transfer it to the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, prepare the icing by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix together just until smooth.
  • When the cinnamon buns are out of the oven, you have a choice to either leave it in the pan or you can flip it out onto a plate. Be careful not to burn yourself! Let the buns cool for 5 minutes and then drizzle on the icing. Serve warm.
