Sweet Potato Sunday Afternoon......
Sweet Potato Cinnamon Buns
For the dough…
2 1/4 tsp of yeast
1/2 cup of warm water
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
3/4 cup sweet potato puree
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
3 cups all purpose flour
Knead it together for about 10 min… You can double this recipe too, I usually do...
Let it rise until double… for about 45 min…
make the filling…
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp honey
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Roll out the dough in a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick and spread the filling on top… roll into a log… and cut into slices ...
Let rise until double (about 45 min- and hour) and preheat oven to 350…
bake for about 25 min......
Add the frosting while they are still in the pan and slightly warm…
For the frosting:
1/4 cup butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (half of a package)
1 tsp vanilla
1 dash cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Sometimes I don't get a chance to ice them....doesn't seem to stop anyone from eating them!!!
Feel free to copy and paste the recipe, I found it somewhere only it was a pumpkin cinnamon bun, sorry I can't remember the original recipe was from....maybe someone knows?
Add a cup of vanilla bean coffee in your favourite mug and enjoy.........
Oh yes, I forgot to say...the sweet potato replaces the fat in the recipe so go ahead and have two!!!!!
