Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 3 Tbs caster sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • 300 ml thickened cream make sure you use all of it - scrape out the container

Filling

  • 1 Tbs melted butter
  • 2 Tbs brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Cinnamon (ground) or you can use cinnamon sugar if you have it

Icing

  • ½ cup icing sugar
  • 1-2 Tbs milk

Instructions
 

  • Combine all the dry ingredients and then add the cream. Stir to combine but don't over stir.
  • Tip out dough onto a silicon mat or baking paper (but a mat is best) and kneed gently until combined. If it's still a little dry and crumbly double check you have scraped ALL the cream from the tub. You'll need all of it.
  • Roll out the dough into a rough rectangle. Don't worry too much about making it perfect. I can't get a perfect rectangle for the life of me.

Filling

  • Spread the melted butter on the rolled out dough using a pastry brush.
  • Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl then sprikle over the dough.

Cooking

  • Roll the dough lengthways into a roll. Trim the edges and then slice into 3cm pieces.
  • Place them in a cake tin that fits into your air fryer. If you don't have an air fryer, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place your scrolls on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush the tops with the rest of the melted butter.
  • Cook in the air fryer for 15 minutes on 160 or in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes on 180.

Icing

  • Combine the icing sugar with a tablespoon of milk. Add slightly more if you want your icing a little thinner.
  • Store in an airtight container.
