Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls 

These are a comfort food in our house.  More of a pastry dough style than a cake bun.  

FOR THE DOUGH: 

2 c all purpose flour 

2 Tbsp sugar 

4 tsp baking powder 

1 tsp salt 

3 Tbsp butter, room temperature soft  

3/4 c milk

FOR THE FILLING: 

4 Tbsp butter, melted 

1 c brown sugar 

3 tsp ground cinnamon 

Directions 

1. Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon to form a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle 1/3 of the mixture over the bottom of a 8x8" pan. 

2. Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in softened butter. Stir in milk to form a soft dough. 

3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4" thick. 

4. Spread the remaining filling on the rolled-out dough. Roll up the rectangle, and with a sharp knife slice into size rolls you prefer (16 small or 12 if you want them bigger). 

5. Place the rolls in the pan and bake in a pre-heated 400-degree oven for 20-25 minutes. 

6. When the rolls are done, let cool in pan for few minutes, than flip pan over so extra filling comes out on top.  

Enjoy!

Could add an icing too by mixing 1 cup of icing (powdered) sugar with a 2 tbsp of milk and 1/2 tsp of vanilla.
