Instructions

Filling

  • In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Rolls

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a small sheet pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla.
  • Pour over flour mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • Turn out onto a floured surface.
  • Roll into a 12"x18" rectangle.
  • Pour melted butter over dough and spread all the way to edges.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  • Beginning with long end, roll dough jellyroll-style.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut into 1 1/2" rolls.
  • Place on prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until done.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the top of the warm rolls.

Notes

  • Don’t over work the dough! The more you work it, the less tender and fluffy the rolls are going to be.
  • Make sure to use a pan that the rolls fill, but still have room to expand. We found that a quarter sized sheet pan works perfectly!
  • Some of the cinnamon sugar may fall out when you roll it.
  • Use a ruler to make sure your cinnamon rolls are all the same size when cutting.
