Ingredients

2 ½ cups rice flour, or more as needed
1 ⅔ cups potato starch
¼ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
2 ½ teaspoons salt
¾ cup shortening
1 ½ cups buttermilk, warmed
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup ground cinnamon
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup chopped pecans
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

Prepare dough: Whisk 2 1/2 cups rice flour, potato starch, sugar, eggs, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening until no lumps remain. Gradually pour in buttermilk and mix until incorporated; add more rice flour if dough feels too goopy. Knead with floured hands until dough is a good, solid consistency, then place in the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Remove dough from the refrigerator and divide in half. Roll each piece on a floured surface into a 9x12-inch rectangle.
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for filling together in a bowl. Spread 1/2 of the butter over each dough rectangle. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture, then spread nuts evenly over top. Starting at the long edges, roll each rectangle into a log, then cut each into 12 slices with a very sharp knife or dental floss. Place rolls in the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare frosting: Mix confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together. Gradually mix in milk until frosting reaches a spreading consistency.
Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and spread frosting over while still warm.
