Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Warm skim milk
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted for filling)
• 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Skim milk (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a small amount of unsalted butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder until well combined.

Step 3

Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, beat together the warm skim milk, vanilla extract, and egg until well mixed.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until the dough begins to come together.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Roll out the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle.

Step 8

Brush the melted unsalted butter over the rolled-out dough.

Step 9

Mix the packed brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.

Step 10

Starting at the long edge, roll up the dough tightly, ensuring the seam is sealed. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 12 equal slices.

Step 11

Arrange the scrolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

While the scrolls are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with skim milk, stirring until you achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.

Step 14

Once baked, allow the scrolls to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the warm scrolls before serving.
