These no rise cinnamon buns are quick to make. This makes them the perfect thing to make for last minute visitors. They go well with tea or coffee. They also make a great Christmas morning breakfast since they require so little time to make.

½cupcold buttercut into Tablespoons
¾cupcold buttermilk
For the filling:
1/2cupsoftened butter
1 1/4cupspacked brown sugar
2 1/2Tbsp. ground cinnamon

1/4cupsoftened butter
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1/2Tbsp. corn syrup
1teaspoonfresh lemon juice
1 1/4cupsicing sugaralso called powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until there are pea sized pieces.
Add the cold buttermilk all at once and mix until the dough forms a ball.
Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface, shaping into a large rectangle.
In a separate bowl, mix together the ingredients for the cinnamon filling.
Spread the filling evenly on top of the cinnamon bun dough, then roll the shortest ends toward each other.
Cut the cinnamon bun log into 2-3" pieces and place them in a buttered casserole dish. I like to slice mine with a piece of string or dental floss as I find this saves time and makes less mess.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
Cream Cheese Drizzle Recipe:
While the cinnamon buns are cooling, whip together the cream cheese drizzle, adding more sugar if desired for a thicker drizzle or more corn syrup for a lighter drizzle.
