Preheat oven to 375°F.

Lightly spray a 8-9 inch circular cake pan or pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. Melt butter in a small saucepan or in microwave and allow to cool slightly. 

To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, sift all the dry ingredients. With the mixer on low, slowly pour in buttermilk, vanilla, and melted butter. Let mixture knead for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until a smooth dough forms.

Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface and knead for an additional 2-3 minutes adding a sprinkle of flour as needed, until dough is smooth and supple. Let rest for 10 minutes while you prepare you filling.

Starting at the edge closest to you, begin tightly rolling the dough into a pinwheel. Lightly pinch the edge to the roll to seal shut. 

Using a serrated knife, trim the very ends of both sides of the log off. Cut the log into 9 equal portions and arrange in your baking pan, giving each roll a light press to flatten slightly.
