Preparation

Make the dough

Whisk together the cottage cheese, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter and Vanilla until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and continue to whisk slowly until the dough clumps together. The dough will be soft and moist. 

Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it with floured hands for another 4-5minutes until smooth. With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 8X6-inch rectangle. 

Pre heat the oven to 200 C/ 400F. Grease your muffin pan with butter.(you could also use your springform pan)

Making the filling

Brush the dough with melted butter, leaving a 1/4 -inch border unbuttered around the edges. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and all spices. Sprinkle the mixture over the buttered area of the dough and pat gently into the surface. Sprinkle the nuts over the sugar mixture.

Starting at a long edge, roll up the dough. Pinch the seam end to seal and leave the ends open. 

With a sharp knife, cut the roll into 6-8 equal pieces. Set the pieces, cut side up, in the prepared pan. They should fill the pan however not to worry if there are small gaps. 

Bake until golden brown and firm to touch, 18-22 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the rolls to a serving plate. 

Make the glaze

In a bowl, mix confectioner's sugar, milk and vanilla to make a smooth glaze. It should have a thick but pourable consistency, you can add more milk if necessary. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
