Author Jesseca

Ingredients

  • 1/4 oz active yeast pack
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • cups all-purpose flour

Filling:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter soft

Frosting:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Sprinkle your yeast over your water in a small bowl. Set aside and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes.
  • Combine the milk, sugar, butter, salt, and egg in the bowl of an electric mixer. Stir to combine. Add 2 cups of flour and stir until fully incorporated. Stir in the yeast mixture. Add the remaining flour and knead 5-10 minutes or until smooth.
  • Transfer your dough to a greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel and allow to rise until doubled in size (1-2 hours).
  • Turn your dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 15x9 inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 cup soft butter across the dough. Whisk together the brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Sprinkle over your butter. Roll, starting on the long end, to form a large log. Cut into 15 pieces.
  • Place your rolls into a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • In the morning place the cinnamon rolls in the oven without turning it on. Let them come to room temperature and slightly rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
  • Bake 25 minutes or until slightly browned.
  • Whisk together the frosting ingredients and spread over the top. Serve along side your favorite breakfast recipes.
