Instrucciones

In a bowl add the honey and milk and microwave for about 30 seconds - 1 minute or until warm (not too hot or cold)

Add in the yeast, stir and set aside

In your mixing bowl add the flour, sugar and salt

Pour in the butter and yeast mixture once risen and activated (takes 5-10 min depending)

Using your mixer with a kneading head, knead for 5 - 10 minutes until a dough ball forms and stops sticking to the sides of the bowl

Grease a large bowl and place in the dough, turn over in the bowl so it’s greased and cover with a damp towel and rise for 1-2 hours (until risen or almost doubled in size)

Once the dough has risen punch down dough and place on a counter top and roll out into a rectangle

Smear a thin layer of butter over the dough with a spatula (optional), then drizzle on the pistachio creme and spread with a spatula. Sprinkle with cinnamon and pistachios

Roll up the dough into a cigar and cut with a sharp knife into 8 - 10 slices

Line a baking dish and add the cinnamon buns, cover and allow to rise for about 20-30 min until risen

Preheat oven to 180°C/356°F while rising, when risen place in cinnamon buns into the oven

While baking mix together cream cheese frosting

Bake for about 15-25 minutes or until golden then remove from oven

Spread the frosting on top once slightly cooled

Top with pistachio butter and pistachios and enjoy!
