Ingredients
Rolls
- 5 cups all purpose flour
- 5 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2½ Tablespoons baking powder
- 1⅔ teaspoons salt
- 2 cups whole milk room temperature
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter melted
Glaze
- ⅜ cup powdered sugar sifted
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon whole milk
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Filling
- In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Rolls
- Heat oven to 350℉/177℃.
- 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, butter, egg, and vanilla.
- Pour over flour mixture.
- Mix well.
- Turn out onto a floured surface.
- Roll into a 12-inch x 18-inch 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 1½-inch 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
- Room temperature is about 70℉21℃.
- 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 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.
