Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour and yeast. Heat milk, sugar, butter, and salt in a saucepan until warm. Add to flour mixture along with egg. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  2. Filling: Punch down dough. Roll out into a 12×9 inch rectangle. Spread melted butter over dough. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over butter. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting from a long side. Cut into 12 slices.
  3. Baking: Place rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Icing: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls.
