How to make single-serve cinnamon roll
The cardamom is totally optional in this speedy cinnamon roll, but it adds that extra kick of flavour that makes it even more irresistible. Made in an air fryer, this is perfect for those cosy days when you just need a warm, spiced treat all to yourself.
Ingredients
For the dough
- 100g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 75g Greek yoghurt
For the filling
- 40g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
- 1 tbsp soft light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cardamom (optional)
For the glaze
- 100g icing sugar
- 1 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
Method
Step 1
In a bowl, mix 100g self-raising flour and 75g Greek yoghurt until they start to come together to form a dough.
Step 2
Transfer to your work surface and continue mixing by hand, ensuring all the flour is fully combined and there are no dry pockets left. Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes (this helps it firm up and makes it easier to handle).
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine 40g softened unsalted butter, 1 tbsp soft light brown sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon and ½ tsp ground cardamom in a separate bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 180C and grease a 10cm ovenproof dish or ramekin.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, slice the dough widthways into 3 equal strips.
Step 7
Roll the middle strip into a tight spiral. Wrap the other 2 pastry strips around it – one at a time – to form a single, large cinnamon roll. Gently press the edges together to seal.
Step 8
Pop the assembled roll into the prepared dish or ramekin. Place in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Step 9
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together 100g icing sugar, 1 tbsp whole milk and 1 tsp vanilla paste to form a smooth glaze.
Step 10
Remove the cinnamon roll from the air fryer and drizzle the glaze generously over the top while still warm – letting it seep into all the layers.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy while still warm.
