Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 quarter cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 packet Dry active yeast
- 1 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 quarter cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and dry active yeast.
Gradually add warm milk, melted butter, and eggs to the dry mixture. Mix until combined.
Slowly incorporate the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the filling.
Roll the risen dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly across the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
Tightly roll the dough into a log starting from the long side. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side up in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for 30 minutes until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, heat heavy cream over low heat in a saucepan. Add the butterscotch chips and stir until melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to create a smooth glaze.
Once the rolls are out of the oven, pour the melted butterscotch mixture over them. Drizzle the vanilla glaze on top for extra sweetness.
Serve the butterscotch cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy!
