Saco Powdered Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls

Last updated on November 6, 2019 By Anna 5 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

Our plans for Saturday were snowed out, so naturally that was the perfect excuse to make cinnamon rolls. The only problem was I didn’t have any milk for the dough. What I did have, and what I always try to keep around, is a can of Saco Powdered Buttermilk. In this case it saved the day because I was able to make some pretty good cinnamon rolls.

Saco Powdered Buttermilk


Here’s the recipe exactly as I made it. If you don’t have buttermilk powder and need to use buttermilk instead, just use ¾ cup of buttermilk and add 2 tablespoons of water or as needed.

Powdered Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls

Saco Powdered Buttermilk works perfectly in these cinnamon rolls. Powdered buttermilk is a good ingredient to keep on hand for when you are out of milk.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour 280 grams
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ¼ ounce package instant yeast
  • ¼ cup buttermilk powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¾ cup hot tap water plus 2 T. water
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Icing
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk plus more as needed I used vanilla almond milk and omitted the vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, rapid rise yeast, buttermilk powder and sugar.
  • Add ¾ cup very hot tap water and stir until mixed, then add the oil and stir. At this point dough should still be a little dry, so add 2 tablespoons more hot water.
  • Attach dough hook to the mixer and let the mixer knead the dough for about 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
  • Cover bowl and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • On a pastry mat (or a lightly floured surface), roll the dough into a rectangle about 9x14. Note: If you are using a pastry mat, you may not need any extra flour because the dough is so pliable and easy to work with. So use flour only if needed.
  • Spread the brown sugar mixture over the rectangle. Starting with a short side, roll into a cylinder.
  • Slice into 8 pieces and place cut side up in a generously buttered 9 inch round cake pan.
  • Cover loosely with a greased piece of foil and let rise for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly while you make the icing. To do this, put a cup of confectioners' sugar in a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup or a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk and the vanilla and stir well, then continue adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until smooth. Pour or drizzle over rolls.

    This is a really interesting recipe. It's quick to put together and just the right size. I didn't have buttermilk, either liquid or powdered, so I used milk and added a little vinegar, along with a bit more water. As you said, the dough was very easy to work with. The rolls are in the oven now and looking beautiful!

    This is the recipe I used. No potato flakes. I think you could sub powdered buttermilk just like you did here.

    I recently made the King Arthur Cinnamon Rolls using the Tangzhong method. We were happy with the results. What I like about yours is that they look perfectly fluffy.
