Looking for the QUICKEST and BEST Cinnamon Scroll recipe? Well you’ve found it with these Easy Yeast Free Cinnamon Scrolls!!

I’ve been wanting to have a go at making Cinnamon Scrolls for what feels like FOREVER and with Mother’s Day coming up I decided now was as good a time as any to finally give them a try – after all there will be no fancy breakfast in bed for me unless I make it myself! In the interests of saving time, I decided to use my fail safe scroll dough recipe – the same one I used for my Vegemite and Cheese Scrolls and Nutella and Raspberry Scrolls to create these yummy and most importantly yeast free Cinnamon Scrolls.

Easy Cinnamon Scrolls

To make these Yeast Free Cinnamon Scrolls, simply combine the butter, salt and self raising flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Tips for Making These Yeast Free Cinnamon Scrolls:

  • You can bake these Scrolls on either a baking tray or a round tin.
  • I make the dough into 12 scrolls, you can make more or less but your cooking time will vary.
  • These Scrolls are freezer friendly both iced and plain.

Now I’m going to give you a warning before you read this recipe, these scrolls are most certainly a sometimes food and cannot be considered healthy in any shape or form.  Thanks to the combination of a thick and generous butter, sugar and cinnamon filling is complemented perfectly by the soft scroll dough and sweet vanilla icing you only need one (ok maybe two) to satisfy you – but if you eat these warm I dare you to stop at just one!

    This recipe is just what I need! I experimented the other night with rolling frozen pastry and stewed apples and didn’t get a great result! I was wondering if there was a quick dough I could have made instead. I can’t wait to try it with the cinnamon and will definitely try some other combinations too. Thanks

      Hi Linda, I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you. I would suggest adding a little extra milk if your mixture was breaking up/crumbly.

    If you cut the long roll with scissors 3 quarters down vertically about 2cm apart and then push the flaps left then right etc. and then cook it, it becomes a cinnamon braid!

    Great Recipe – Except I used normal flour (not self-raising) by mistake and they turned out as cookies! Oops 🙂 Thanks for this, I will be trying it again.

    I managed to stop myself from eating these warm after the 4th one. Pretty good. also tried with Brown sugar instead of caster. Was pretty good also. Definitely will re-make, if only cause there won’t be any left tomorrow
