Quick Cinnamon Buns with Buttermilk Icing

Not universally enjoyed....

This recipe's speed is its crowning virtue. You make a typical biscuit recipe, pat it into a rectangle, layer on a cinnamon-clove-sugar-butter mixture, roll, cut, and bake. No long rising times required!

From start to serving, this recipe took me about 40 minutes (includes 5 minutes of cooling). I liked that they were not as rich as some cinnamon buns, and I really liked the addition of cloves to the sugar-cinnamon mixture. The frosting included cream cheese, which was also a nice touch.

However 13-daughter did not like the cloves, and so did not like the buns. So - if you are preparing this for someone with a sensitive palate, you might want to reduce the ground cloves.
