For the Dough
- 2 ¼ cups gluten free flour King Arthur Measure for Measure
- ⅓ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 TABLESPOON baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cups unsalted butter cold, cubed
- ¾ cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup light brown sugar or dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Topping
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the GF flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and pinch and press until the mixture resembles course sand. (Shortcut method: use a food processor to mix the butter in seconds.)
Make a well in the center of the sand mixture and add the milk and vanilla. Toss and fold until it comes together to form a loose dough.
Dust a large work surface with more GF flour and turn the dough out onto it. Press the dough into a 5 inch x 14 inch rectangle. Be sure it is not sticking to the work surface.
Build the Roll
Cut the dough lengthwise in 4-5 equal strips. Pick up a strip and place it sideways on the parchment paper lined baking sheet and wrap it around itself in a circle (like a snail shell). Pick up another strip and start where you left off continuing in a circle until all strips have been used and you have a circle about 9 inches in diameter.
Gently press the layers together, using your hands, to adhere the strips to each other.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until light brown around the edges and the center is set.
Remove and allow to cool for 30 minutes (or more) and transfer to a cutting board.
