| Desserts

A cinnamon bun (or a cinnamon roll) is a type of pastry made with cinnamon, sugar and butter.

Pastry

 * 1) Combine flour, baking powder and salt.
 * 2) Cut in the shortening.
 * 3) Add the milk, stirring with a knife until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
 * 4) Knead the dough until it "springs back" when you push your finger into it.
 * 5) Roll the dough into a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 30 cm) rectangle. Use a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 30 cm) baking pan as a mould for the size.

Filling

 * 1) Brush butter over the dough, leaving about ¼ inch (0.75 cm) around the edges clear.
 * 2) Combine brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle over the buttered dough, leaving about ¼ inch around the edges clear.
 * 3) Press the sugar mixture down. Roll the dough up lengthwise into a log, as tight as you can.
 * 4) Trim the edges, then cut into 8 pieces.
 * 5) Arrange the buns in a small pan, so that all the buns are touching.
 * 6) Bake at 425°F (210°C) for 15–20 minutes.
 * 7) Let cool.

Topping

 * 1) Combine icing sugar and liquid. Whisk together to make an icing.
 * 2) Spread topping on buns after they have cooled.
