Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter until warm (about 110°F). In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm milk mixture and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter on top, and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

  4. 4

    Roll and Cut

    Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Bake the Rolls

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

  6. 6

    Prepare the Icing

    In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  7. 7

    Top and Serve

    Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
