Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly stir in the milk until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12 inches long and 6 inches wide.
Brush the dough with melted butter, leaving a small border along the edges.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Starting at the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Trim off uneven ends if needed.
Using a sharp knife or dental floss, cut the log into 12 equal pieces. Place each piece into the prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden and cooked through.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Allow the baked rolls to cool for 5 minutes before drizzling the maple glaze over the tops. Serve warm and enjoy!
