Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

FOR THE FILLING
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
FOR THE ROLLS
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon rum extract or flavoring (or 2 tablespoons rum)

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead until the dough is smooth (it will still be very soft and a little sticky, but should be smoother and less lumpy). Add more flour, as needed, to be able to knead the dough without it sticking too much. Flatten the dough into a rectangle about 12 inches by 8 inches. Pour 2 tablespoons of the remaining melted butter on and spread around with your fingers. Pour the cinnamon roll filling over the dough and spread it evenly, leaving about a 1/2 inch or so border around the outside edge. Press the filling down to sort of pack it on top of the dough.
