Icing

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter until warm (not boiling). Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients along with the eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Melt the butter and set aside.

  4. 4

    Roll the Dough

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the melted butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top.

  5. 5

    Shape the Rolls

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

  6. 6

    Bake the Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

  7. 7

    Make the Icing

    In a bowl, mix together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
