Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Milk (for icing)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the milk until lukewarm (about 110°F). Stir in melted butter and beat in the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and softened butter in a small bowl until it forms a spreadable paste.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle roughly 10x14 inches.
Spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border along the edges.
Starting from the longer edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 24 equal pieces.
Place the slices into a greased mini muffin pan or close together on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rise for 15-20 minutes in a warm area.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
While the rolls are baking, make the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Allow the mini cinnamon rolls to cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle the icing generously over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
