Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Whole milk (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pan.
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 and stir until a soft, tacky dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.
Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting at one of the long edges, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it.
Slice the log into 6 equal pieces and place the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
Bake the rolls for 13-15 minutes, or until puffed and lightly golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, then beat until light, fluffy, and smooth. Add more milk if needed for a thinner consistency.
When the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes. Then spread the cream cheese frosting generously on top of the warm rolls.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey goodness!
