1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Warm the milk and melt the butter together, then mix into the dry ingredients. Add eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
2
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3
Make the Filling
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter and set aside.
4
Roll the Dough
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
5
Shape the Danish
Roll the rectangle tightly from the long side to form a log, then slice into 12 equal pieces. Place in a greased baking dish.
6
Second Rise
Cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let the rolls rise for another 30 minutes.
7
Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
8
Prepare the Icing
In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
9
Finish the Danish
Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve.
