Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Warm the milk and butter until melted, then mix into the dry ingredients. Add eggs and knead the dough until smooth. Let rise for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter for filling.

  3. 3

    Roll the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the melted butter on top, then sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly.

  4. 4

    Form the Rolls

    Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased cast iron skillet.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Cover the rolls and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake the Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Prepare the Icing

    While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  8. 8

    Frost the Rolls

    Once the rolls are out of the oven, spread the icing over the warm rolls. Serve immediately.
