Tips
Some say that the filling is the best part of the cinnamon swirl. But you must be careful not to add too much inside the swirls since the butter can melt and leak out. It will also make it difficult to swirl if there is too much filling. If you have some filling left, add the extra filling on top.
Questions about lactose-free cinnamon swirls
The secret behind delicious, fluffy lactose-free cinnamon swirls is a soft dough with an irresistible filling. Read below how to get your swirls just right.
What is a lactose-free cinnamon swirl?
A lactose-free cinnamon swirl is a delightful twist on the traditional sweet pastry, substituting regular dairy ingredients with lactose-free alternatives. Retaining an irresistible blend of cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar, it creates a sweet, gooey filling within a beautifully twisted bread-like casing. This lactose-free treat ensures a great-tasting, flavourful experience for all to enjoy.
How to know when lactose-free cinnamon swirls are done?
Cinnamon swirls should have a slightly dark, golden-brown colour on top. To make sure the dough is fully baked, stick a knife or a toothpick into the centre. If it comes out without any raw-looking dough sticking to it, the swirls are done, and you can take them out of the oven.
Can you freeze lactose-free cinnamon swirls?
In the unlikely event that you have some leftover lactose-free cinnamon swirls, you can easily freeze them. Place them in an airtight container or sealable freezer bag. Be careful not to crush the swirls.
Can you reheat lactose-free cinnamon swirls?
Yes! The easiest way to reheat lactose-free cinnamon swirls is to use a microwave. To retain their texture, cover them with a damp paper towel and heat them at 30 seconds intervals. Repeat until fully heated. Alternatively, use an oven preheated to 200°C. Cover them with foil and heat for about 10 minutes until warm.
