Biscoff Cinnamon Scrolls

Ingredient notes:

A variety of baking ingredients on a kitchen counter, including Biscoff biscuits and spread, flour, eggs, milk, butter, cream cheese, yeast, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.

Biscoff Spread: This delicious spread has all the beautiful spiced and caramelised flavour of the original Lotus Biscoff bikkies. You can use this spread on toast or bread as you would Nutella.
Cinnamon: This adds even more spiced goodness to the scrolls.
High grade flour: This type of flour has a higher protein content which helps the dough rise higher and creates a fluffier texture.

Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.

Step by step instructions:

To make the dough, warm the milk in a small jug in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until lukewarm. Sprinkle over the yeast and whisk to combine. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, whisk together the caster sugar, egg, egg yolk, vanilla and melted butter. Pour in the yeast mixture and whisk well.

Once doubled in size, punch the dough to knock it back, then use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a rectangle, around 40cm x 20cm or 2cm in thickness. Filling: Spread ¾ of a cup of melted Biscoff spread over the entire surface of the rectangle, then combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the top.

If the cut pieces have lost their shape, use your hands to gently form them into rounds. Arrange them cut-side up in a 20cm cake tin lined with baking paper. Cover and proof a second time until doubled in size.

Recipe FAQs:

Can I replace the Biscoff spread with anything?

If you can't find Biscoff, you can use Nutella for a chocolatey twist!

So these scrolls are made without a stand mixer?

Yes, as pictured, I made these scrolls by hand rather than using a stand mixer. This is completely doable; it just takes a little more elbow grease! You will know your dough is ready when you can stretch a small piece enough to see the light through.

Can I leave out the salt?

Salt is our friend in this recipe, so please don't skip it! Salt helps these rolls from becoming overly sweet. Having said that, you can add salt to the icing to taste.

Storage:

These rolls are best eaten on the same day, but can be kept in an airtight container for around 3 days; but I recommend warming them in the microwave to refresh them!

Top tips:

You can make these scrolls smaller if desired, simply roll the rectangle more to 50cm x 20cm and cut into 12-14 pieces and bake in a baking dish or larger cake tin.
When lining the tin, it is important to use one sheet of paper rather than cutting a round for the base, so that the paper stops the cream leaking through the tin if using a springform.
