Easy Cinnamon Buns

It feels like I have been looking at cinnamon buns recipes forever.  Every time I find one, I am turned off by the amount of butter that is required.  I know that the ones that uses a lot butter would definitely taste fantastic, but I have been holding out until now. I found this one for Easy Cinnamon Buns on Cooking With My Kid. I just had to give it a try. It is definitely not a Cinnabon, but it satisfies the tummy!

Dough Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of melted butter
1/4 cup canola oil
extra flour for dusting

Filling Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
lots of cinnamon for sprinkling

Glaze Ingredients:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Directions:
1)  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2)  In a large bowl sift together all the dry dough ingredients.  Stir in milk, butter and oil until dough becomes thick. Gather into a ball and place on a floured work surface.  Flour a rolling pin and roll out dough into large rectangle.
3)  In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and brown sugar for the filling.  Using a pastry brush, paint the oil on top of the dough.  Sprinkle most of the sugar mixture on top of the oil leaving a table spoon or two for topping the cinnamon roll. Generously sprinkle cinnamon over the entire filling.  Roll dough up and cut into sections with a very sharp knife.  Place on a greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture on top of cinnamon rolls.
4)  Bake in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes. They should be slightly brown on top.
5)  Meanwhile, make the glaze by slowly whisking milk into sugar until it is a nice smooth consistency.
6)  When rolls are done remove from oven and drizzle glaze on top of each roll.  Serve warm.  Makes about a dozen cinnamon rolls.
