Recipe Details

Prep: 25 mins

Rest: ~30 mins

Bake: 25–30 mins

Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

Dough

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 cups milk

Filling

• 3/4 cup softened butter
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 4–5 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Simple Vanilla Icing (optional)

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 Tbsp milk or cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Prep the pan: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with parchment.
2. Make the dough: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in 1/3 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk egg with milk and stir into dry mix just until a soft dough forms.
3. Roll: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 12×18-inch (30×45 cm) rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
4. Fill: Spread 3/4 cup butter over dough. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon; scatter evenly over butter.
5. Shape: Roll up tightly from a long edge. Pinch seam; slice into 12 equal rolls with a sharp knife or floss.
6. Pan & rest: Arrange in prepared pan, leaving slight space between each. Cover and let rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
7. Bake: Bake 25–30 minutes until puffed and golden. Tent loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
8. Icing: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth; drizzle over warm rolls.

Pro Tips & Variations

• Tall spirals: Keep the dough thickness even and roll snugly for defined layers.
• Extra gooey: Add 2 Tbsp softened butter dotted on top before baking.
• Cream-cheese glaze: Beat 4 oz cream cheese with 2 Tbsp butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1–2 Tbsp milk.
• Make ahead: Cover unbaked, sliced rolls and refrigerate up to 12 hours; bake cold and add 5–8 minutes.

Storage

Best the day they’re baked. Store leftovers airtight at room temperature up to 2 days, or refrigerate up to 4 days. Rewarm 10–15 seconds in the microwave or 5–7 minutes at 300°F (150°C).
