Delicious cinnamon vanilla knots

Cinnamon knots are not only super popular in Sweden! With their elegant shape and delicious taste, cinnamon knots are perfect for any coffee table and also go down very well as a gift. And with a little practice, the knots can be formed in no time at all, so nothing stands in the way of baking fun.

In our version, we add a little vanilla flavouring to the yeast dough to give the biscuits a very special touch. The filling, on the other hand, is a classic cinnamon-sugar mix. If you want to be really decadent, you can serve the delicious cinnamon vanilla knots with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dust them with additional icing sugar.

The dough in this recipe is enough for 16 cinnamon vanilla knots, which can theoretically be stored for several days if stored correctly. However, all the yeast knots are usually eaten on the same day!

Instructions

Beat the eggs, butter and milk until foamy. Mix the flour, salt and yeast and stir into the dough. Add a little vanilla flavouring at the end.
Cover the dough and leave it to rise in a warm place for 90 minutes.
Form knots:
- Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and cover 2/3 of the surface with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Fold the third of the dough without the cinnamon-sugar to the middle over the dough with cinnamon-sugar. Then fold the third of the dough with cinnamon-sugar towards the middle from the other side (3 layers have been created).
- Cut the shaped dough into 16 oblong rectangles.
- Cut each of the rectangles into 3 small strands and shape into a plait.
- Roll up each mini braid to form a knot.
Place the shaped cinnamon knots on a piece of baking paper and leave to rest for another 60 minutes.
