Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  2. Roll Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 10×12 inches in size and about ¼ inch thick.
  3. Add Filling: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough rectangle. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle it generously across the buttered surface.
  4. Form Roll: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal the roll.
  5. Slice Rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 8 equal slices and place them in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow expansion.
  6. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 18-22 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove rolls from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Optionally, drizzle with a simple glaze or icing before serving for added sweetness.

Notes

  • For extra softness, cover the baking dish with foil during the first half of baking to retain moisture, then uncover to brown.
  • If you prefer a glaze, mix powdered sugar with a little milk or cream and vanilla extract to drizzle on warm rolls.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled to serve a larger crowd.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container; gently reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
