Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 tablespoons Butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for icing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a round baking dish or 9-inch cake pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk, stirring with a fork, until a soft dough forms (avoid overmixing).

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times to bring it together.

Step 6

Roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches.

Step 7

Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough surface.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

Step 9

Starting from one of the longer edges, roll the dough tightly into a log.

Step 10

Cut the log into 8 equal slices and place them into the prepared baking dish with the swirled sides facing up.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and cooked through.

Step 12

While the rolls are baking, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 13

Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle the icing generously over the top.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy a taste of homemade comfort!
