Wicked Cinnamon Rolls (Low Fat)
- 4 teaspoons yeast, active dry
- 1 cup milk skim, lukewarm
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cup cake flour
- 2 each egg whites
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 113 cup flour, all-purpose
- 1 each pastry dough see recipe above
- 1 cup brown sugar or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon ground, or more to taste
- 1 each egg whites lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk skim

- 113 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk skim
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ULTRA LIGHT PASTRY DOUGH: In a large bowl, mix the yeast & milk.
- Stir gently for about a minute.
- The yeast will not completely dissolve in milk.
- That's normal.
- Mix in the sugar, pastry flour & egg whites; stirring for 100 strokes.
- Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Mix in the salt & remaining flour.
- Stir until well mixed.
- (The dough will start pulling away from the sides of the bowl.)
- With a little additional flour sprinkled on the dough, knead for 5 minutes.
- Let rise for 40 minutes.
- The dough is now ready to be used.
- (Don't try this recipe in a Bread Machine!
- It doesn't work!)
- WICKED CINNAMON ROLLS: Preheat oven to 375F (190C).
- Make the Ultralight Pastry Dough through the second rise.
- Sprinkle flour onto a work surface.
- Place the dough on top.
- Sprinkle enough flour on the dough to keep it from sticking to your rolling pin.
- Roll the dough flat, into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Let rest while thoroughly mixing the brown sugar & cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the pastry dough leaving a 1 inch edge along the long side away from you.
- Gently roll dough into a log from the long side near you, to the long side with no sugar mixture.
- Slice into sections 2 inches thick.
- Place on a non-stick rimmed cookie sheet.
- (The more brown sugar you use the more it oozes out the bottom of the rolls.)
- Whisk together the egg white & skim milk.
- Brush the rolls with the milk mixture.
- Let rise in a warm draft free place for 20 minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are light golden brown.
- Remove immediately from the pan.
- Ice heavily.
- You can also freeze the rolls before baking.
- Place the unbaked rolls in a foil lasagne pan, let rise 20 minutes, cover tightly with foil lid, place in freezer.
- They can then be baked straight from the freezer.
- When ready to bake, remove lid & bake in preheated 375F (190C) oven for 25 minutes.
- THE FROSTING THAT MOVES LIKE A SLOTH: Pour sugar into a small bowl.
- Heat milk slightly in the microwave.
- Mix the milk into the sugar, stirring until smooth.
- Add the vanilla; stir until well blended.
- Spoon onto cinnamon rolls or muffins.
- The whole batch of frosting is fat free.
- Variation: Cold lemon juice can be used in place of the milk for a more tangy frosting.
