FILLING:

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients; set aside.

2

ROLLS:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly oil a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan or deep-dish pie plate.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk; pour over flour mixture and stir gently until just combined.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, press and fold a few times, then roll out into a 14- by 12-inch (35 by 30 cm) rectangle.

Spread filling over dough, then roll tightly into a log. Pinch the edge of the roll to seal.

Cut crosswise into 9 equal pieces and place in prepared pan.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

ICING:

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla.

Gradually beat in sugar until smooth and spreadable, adding more sugar if icing is too thin.

Spread over warm buns.
