Cinnamon Roll in a Mug

• porções: 1 serving
• tempo ativo: 5 minutes
• tempo total: 6 minutes

Ingredientes

3 tablespoons powdered sugar (, icing sugar in the UK)

about ¾ teaspoon water or dairy free milk

a tiny dab oil (, for greasing the mug, such as sunflower, canola, olive, or coconut oil)

9 tablespoons (70 grams) all purpose flour (plain flour in the UK)

¾ teaspoon baking powder

1 small pinch fine sea salt

about 4 tablespoons water

¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1½ tablespoons brown sugar (, or coconut sugar)

Instruções

Make the icing. In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar with either plant-based milk or water. Add the liquid a really tiny bit at a time and mix really well after each addition. The most you will need is about ¾ teaspoon to get a thick, drippy consistency. Stir well until smooth then set aside.

Grease a normal sized drinking mug (about 11 to 12 oz size) with a tiny dab of oil.

Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to a small bowl and stir to combine.

Stir in enough water to form a slightly tacky but not sticky dough (about 4 tablespoons but this will vary depending on the time of year and humidity), then use your hand to bring it together and knead a few times to bring it into a ball. Don't handle it any more than you need to. Overworking will make it tough.

Dust a clean work surface with a little flour, then roll the dough out into a long strip about 4 inches wide and ⅛ inch (a few millimetres) thick.

Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly over the dough then fold the edges on the longest sides inwards so they meet each other in the middle. This helps to seal the cinnamon and sugar in and stop it dropping out when you lift it after rolling. See my video below for a full tutorial.

Roll it up tightly and gently place in the greased mug. Pour over ½ teaspoon of water then place in the microwave. Don't skip this. It's important to create steam.

Microwave uncovered on full power for about 50 seconds. My microwave is 1200 watts. You will need to adjust the time up or down if the wattage of yours is different but it shouldn't need longer than 1 minute 10 seconds max. It is better to slightly undercook it then blast in 5 second increments to finish it off than risk overcooking. Remember that microwaved food continues cooking once it's removed from the microwave.

When you open the door it should have puffed up a lot and nearly reached the top of the mug. It will still look pale and a little damp as it's microwaved not baked, so don't think it's underdone and cook longer than you need to or it will overcook. You can check doneness with a toothpick or skewer. Stick into the roll and it should come out clean.

Either spoon the icing over the cinnamon roll in the mug or turn out onto a plate then ice. Before turning out run a knife around the outside of the mug to loosen it. Eat immediately while warm.
