Cinnamon Rolls







Ours

1/2 cup white rice flour (not sweet rice)
1/4 cup tapioca flour
3/4 cup potato starch (NOT POTATO FLOUR. TRUST ME, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon xantham gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable or canola oil
1/2 cup milk
3 Tablespoons melted butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar

Icing
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and 1/2 cup sugar and set aside. In another bowl, mix together the rice flour, tapioca, potato starch, baking powder, xantham gum, salt and 1 T sugar. I usually run a whisk through it to thoroughly combine.

In a seperate bowl, mix the eggs, oil and 1/2 cup milk. Add to the dry ingredients and blend thoroughly. Your dough will be VERY wet.

Spray a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap (I use plastic wrap) about 20″ long with non-stick vegetable spray. You want it sprayed well so that the dough doesn’t stick.
Spray a spatula with non-stick spray and spread the dough out onto a 10 x 14 rectangle (I never really measure – just long enough so that the dough isn’t too thin). Drizzle the melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the buttered dough.

Carefully start to roll the dough over until a log is formed. When you get towards the end, flip the end that hasn’t been rolled (furthest from you) back over the part that is already rolled (the part closest to you). (Does that make sense? See the pictures above if not) Spray a knife with non-stick spray and cut into pieces (I got about 8 pieces today).

Options: You can now bake in individual muffin pans that have been sprayed, or put into a sprayed 8 x 8 pan.

Bake 15-18 minutes.

While it is baking, combine the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla for the icing. Drizzle the icing over the rolls after they come out of the oven and are still warm.

Trust me, this is a no-fail recipe. I know, it’s a lot of claim to stake, but the only time it didn’t work was when I used potato flour instead of potato starch. For us they weren't rolls, but they were good.
