Cherry Roll Instructions:
1.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a small 8 inch dish or a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl place the gluten free flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
- Next, pour the butter into the dry ingredients and rub the mixture with your fingertips until the butter is well incorporated. The texture should look like crumbly sand.
- In a separate bowl beat the egg and milk together, be sure to reserve 2 tablespoons to use as an egg wash. Then pour the remaining liquid into the dough.
- Using a fork mix until a loose ball forms and turn out onto a generously floured surface. I recommend using this silicone mat (https://amzn.to/43wvamo)
6.Knead for a few moments,flour the mat again, then roll the dough out to a 9 inch by 11 inch rectangle.
- Take a silicone brush and paint the entire surface with the melted butter. Then, sprinkle the brown sugar, and grated almond paste across the face of the rectangle.
- Using the edge of the mat roll the dough into a log, slowly and steadily. If part of the dough gets stuck use a spatula to gentle easy the dough into place.
- Cut the log into 9 even rolls using a very sharp knife.
- Place the rolls into the prepared muffin tin, and bake.
Icing Instructions:
- Place the whipped cream cheese, powdered sugar and milk in a bowl. Mix well, you may need to add more milk to achieve a runny consistency. Pour over the cooled rolls.
- Enjoy.
