Mini cinnamon swirls are delightful, bite-sized pastries that are perfect for snacking, dessert, or even breakfast. With a blend of sweet and spicy cinnamon, and a soft, buttery texture, these mini treats are incredibly simple to make and are sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1 egg
50g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
1 tbsp water
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 tbsp of all-purpose white wheat flour and 2 tbsp granulated sugar.
- Add 1 tbsp of softened butter and mix until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
2. Make the Batter:
- In another bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, 1 egg, and 2 tsp of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add this liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you get a smooth batter.
3. Prepare the Cinnamon Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 tbsp of water until it forms a thick paste.
4. Assemble the Swirls:
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a thin rectangle (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the dough.
5. Roll and Cut the Swirls:
- Carefully roll the dough from one edge to the other, creating a tight log.
- Slice the log into approximately 1-inch thick pieces to create mini swirls.
6. Bake:
- Place the swirls onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Prepare the Icing:
- While the swirls are baking, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1 tbsp of water in a small bowl until the icing is smooth and easy to drizzle.
8. Finish:
- Once the mini cinnamon swirls are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Drizzle the prepared icing over the warm swirls and allow it to set.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve your mini cinnamon swirls warm or at room temperature and enjoy a delightful treat with your favorite beverage!

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.

- Use cold milk to help create a flakier texture in your dough.

- For an extra cinnamon kick, you can add a bit more cinnamon to the brown sugar mixture.

- Let the baked swirls cool slightly before drizzling the powdered sugar glaze to ensure it sets perfectly.

- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent the swirls from sticking and for easier cleanup.

These mini cinnamon swirls are a fantastic addition to any occasion, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best experience, and watch as they quickly become a household favorite. Happy baking!
