They not only look beautiful but are also incredibly convenient. By layering the dry ingredients in a jar, you can easily gift them or store them for later use. Plus, they make for a fun and interactive holiday activity for the whole family.
Ingredients
To make these holiday cinnamon buns in a jar, you will need:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1/4 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and water. Slowly add it to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Step 3: On a floured surface, knead the dough a few times until it comes together. Roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4: Brush the melted butter over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and any optional toppings evenly over the butter.
Step 5: Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
Step 6: Place the slices into a jar, alternating with layers of pecans, raisins, and cranberries if desired.
Step 7: Close the jar and decorate it with a festive ribbon or tag.
To Bake
When you're ready to bake the holiday cinnamon buns in a jar, simply pour the contents into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish and bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
