What's the difference between cinnamon rolls and cinnamon scrolls?

Cinnamon scrolls have a sugar glaze, while cinnamon rolls have a cream-cheese based icing . They may have different frostings, they may be cooked in square or circle pans, but ultimately, a cinnamon roll and a cinnamon scroll are largely the same thing.

Do you heat cinnamon scrolls?

Heat up before eating : Cinnamon rolls are always best ooey gooey and warm. Simply pop your cinnamon roll in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to heat it back up to that fresh baked warmth!

What are the 2 most popular types of cinnamon?

And they all taste a bit different from one another. Cinnamon is separated into two main categories: cassia cinnamon and Ceylon cinnamon .

Really simple to whip up, these scrolls are ready in just under an hour!

Ingredients (makes 16 scrolls)

2 3/4 cups Plain flour
3 TBS Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
2 1/4 tsp Dried instant yeast
1/2 cup Water
1/4 cup Milk
2 TBS Unsalted butter
1 large Egg
FILLING
1/4 cup Unsalted butter at room temperature
1/4 cup Brown sugar
2 TBS Ground cinnamon
GLAZE
1 cup Icing sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 TBS Milk

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and turn off after 10 minutes or just before placing rolls in oven.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast together until evenly dispersed. Set aside.
In a small microwavable bowl, heat the water, milk, and butter together in the microwave until the butter is melted (about 30-45 seconds). Stir the butter mixture into the flour mixture. Add the egg and knead with hand or with stand mixer for 3-4 minutes or until the dough is no longer sticky. Place in a lightly greased bowl and let rest for about 5 minutes.
After the dough has rested for 5 minutes, roll it out in a 15x9 inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter on top. Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle it all over the dough.
Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 16 even pieces. Place in a lightly greased square pan, with room in between each one to allow room to rise, and lightly cover with alfoil.
TURN OFF the oven and place the cinnamon buns in the oven to rise for 20 minutes.
Keep the buns in the oven but remove the foil and turn the oven back on to 190 degrees.
Bake the cinnamon rolls for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven
To make glaze, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla and 2 Tablespoons milk together until smooth and lump free. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Notes

If you want a coffee glaze, swap the 2 TBS milk for 2 TBS Coffee (I make a strong white coffee and use that) Or make both and have half and half!
