Our Christmas breakfast this year will be home-made Cinnamon Swirls.

I’ve made these before and they came out really well!

This recipe is one that I found online here. The ingredients, however, are all in cups (an American measure). It’s a bit of a pain to have to convert it, so I’ve converted it and the results are below.

For the Dough

245 ml milk
57 grams butter, cut into chunks
475 grams self-raising flour
7g dried yeast
50 grams granulated sugar
2.5 grams salt
1 egg

For the Filling

220 grams brown sugar
10 grams ground cinnamon
115 grams butter, softened

For the Icing

240 grams icing sugar
28 grams melted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
25 ml milk

What I would add to the recipe are raisins, or a dried fruit mix, which would go in to the filling / cinnamon butter mix.

The Method

For the method, head over to Deliciously Yum and scroll down. Also, you can follow Deliciously Yum on Twitter!

If you find yourself in the position of having to convert a recipe from American measure to European, then I’d recommend Cafe Fernando’s Conversion Tables.

Enjoy!
