A classic, comforting recipe for homemade cinnamon rolls — perfect for a cozy breakfast or a sweet afternoon treat.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 3 cups |
| Granulated sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Baking powder | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Unsalted butter, softened | 1/3 cup |
| Large egg | 1 |
| Milk | 1 1/2 cups |
| Ground cinnamon | 4–5 tablespoons |
| Packed brown sugar | 2 cups |
| Softened butter | 3/4 cup |
Instructions:
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and milk, then gradually add to the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add the filling: Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture.
- Roll it up: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough into a log.
- Slice the rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
- Prepare to bake: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between each. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly, then drizzle with icing if desired. Enjoy warm!
