Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it’s investigating the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, ‘The A Word’, which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

“You just can’t beat fluffy cinnamon buns with a cream cheese icing, so I’ve made a high-protein version using my trusty two-ingredient dough to add protein but still keep the amazing texture,” says Christina Kynigos – behind the popular account @veryhungrygreek.
Serves: 1
Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 8 minutes
Ingredients:
40g 0% fat Greek yogurt
40g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
2 tsp light butter, melted
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp granulated sweetener (or sugar)
For the cream cheese icing:
25g light cream cheese
1 tsp icing sugar
Method:
1. In a bowl, mix the yogurt and flour together to form a dough. Flour the work surface and using a rolling pin, roll it out into a rectangle, around the thickness of a pound coin.
2. Brush over the melted butter, then evenly sprinkle over the cinnamon and sweetener. Roll up the dough into a log, then slice in half.
3. With the sliced side facing up, use your hand to gently press down and flatten each piece slightly. Using the brush you used earlier for the butter, brush any remaining butter around a small baking dish, then place the cinnamon buns inside.
4. Air-fry at 170C for 8 minutes until golden and cooked, then let them cool for a few minutes.
5. Mix the icing ingredients together in a small bowl. Spread the cream cheese icing over the buns and devour.
