Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg (beaten for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough just comes together (do not overmix).

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and brown sugar for the filling.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side-up on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the pastries lightly with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.

Step 11

Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy Grandma Geldner’s Famous Inhalers warm or at room temperature!
