Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 quarters cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish or an 8x8 square baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly for 1 minute until smooth. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.
Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice the log into 8 equal pieces (about 1.5 inches thick each).
Arrange the rolls, cut side up, in your prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each roll.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden on top and cooked through.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, homemade cinnamon rolls!
