Ingredients

Rolls

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg

Filling

  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter softened

Frosting

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in butter; stir until melted. Let cool until warm NOT hot.
    Note: you can also heat the milk and butter together in a microwave safe bowl for 90 seconds. Stir until butter is completely melted. Cool until it is just warm, NOT hot.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; mix well.
  • Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 2-3 minutes.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, softened butter. It should be the consistency of frosting.
  • Roll out dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle.
  • Spread dough with butter/sugar mixture. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal size rolls and place in lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until browned.
  • While cinnamon rolls bake make the frosting. Mix ingredients together then beat until fluffy.
  • Let cinnamon rolls cool 10 minutes. Spread frosting over warm cinnamon rolls.
