It’s time to rock and (cinnamon) roll with this scrumptious mini-cinnamon roll recipe.
Ingredients:
Cinnamon rolls
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1/2 package)
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (plus 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (heaping)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (scant)
- 1/4 tablespoon salt (heaping)
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 teaspoons melted butter, for pans
Vanilla Frosting
- 1/2 pound powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation:
- Heat one-fourth cup vegetable oil, one cup whole milk and one-fourth cup sugar on medium heat until there are a few bubbles popping just below the surface. Remove from heat, and let cool until slightly warm after about fifteen minutes.
- Sprinkle one and one-fourth teaspoons active dry yeast on the surface of the milk mixture. Let sit for one minute.
- Add two cups and two tablespoons flour to the milk mixture. Cover with a clean kitchen towel, and set aside in a warm place for one hour.
- Then, add one-fourth teaspoon baking powder, one-fourth teaspoon baking soda, one-fourth tablespoon salt and one-fourth cup flour. Mix until combined. Refrigerate for one hour.
- Roll out the dough on a large, floured surface until it’s about one-half of a centimeter thick.
- Pour one-half cup melted butter over the rolled out dough, using a spatula to distribute it evenly.
- Sprinkle three-fourth cup sugar and two tablespoons cinnamon on top of the butter to taste.
- Starting with the side of the dough furthest from you, roll it towards you. Don’t worry if some of the filling oozes out; it just means the rolls will be more delicious after they’re baked.
- With a sharp knife, cut the cinnamon-sugary log into half-inch slices, and lay them in a buttered pan, about an inch apart.
- Let the rolls rise for thirty minutes.
- Bake for twenty minutes at 375 degrees until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Make the icing by whisking together one-half pound powdered sugar, one teaspoon vanilla extract, three tablespoons whole milk and two tablespoons melted butter.
- Pour the frosting over the cinnamon rolls and enjoy!
