Description

Delicious homemade cinnamon rolls topped with icing for a sweet treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Lightly flour a countertop and turn out the dough. Knead it gently for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle (about 12×8 inches).
  5. In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and brown sugar together, then sprinkle evenly over the rolled-out dough.
  6. Starting from the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
  7. Slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces. You can simply place them in a greased round baking dish or arrange them in a flower shape for a fun presentation.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
  9. In a small bowl, mix the icing sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over the warm cinnamon rolls once out of the oven.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
