Cinnamon Roll in a Mug

on


Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 1 minute
Total time: 6 minutes
Yield: 1 Serving

Ingredients:
For the cinnamon roll:

  • 9 level Tbsp. all purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp. baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3-4½ Tbsp. water
  • A tiny dab of oil for greasing the mug 
  • ¾ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1½ Tbsp. sugar
  • ½ tsp. water

For the frosting:

  • 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar
  • A drop of milk or water, around ¾ teaspoon

Directions:

  1. Grease a normal sized drinking mug with a tiny dab of oil. Be sure to reach into the bottom and the edges well.
  2. First make the frosting. In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar with either milk or water. Add the liquid a tiny bit at a time. It doesn't take much at all and the most you will need is ¾ teaspoon of water, perhaps a tiny drop more if you are using milk. Stir well until smooth then set aside.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder and salt to another small bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Gradually add the water (from the 3-4½ tablespoons, stirring until it starts to form a dough then use your hand to bring it together, kneading a few times until its a smooth, flexible ball of dough. If you do accidentally add a drop too much water and it's a bit sticky, add a little tiny bit more flour. If it's very dry and won't come together, add a drop more water. Only handle it as much as you need to.
  5. Dust your work surface with a little flour, then roll your dough out into a long strip about 4 inches wide and a couple of millimeters thick
  6. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly over the dough then fold the edges inwards to seal it in and stop it all falling out when you lift it into the mug.
  7. You will be left with a long narrow strip which you can roll up. Roll it up and gently lift it and place it in the greased mug.
  8. Pour over ½ teaspoon water then place in the microwave.
  9. Microwave uncovered on full power for around 45 - 50 seconds. Test with a toothpick, to see if it comes out clean. It is normal for it to appear doughy fresh out of the microwave.
  10. Turn out onto a plate and spoon over the frosting. Eat immediately.
