Ingredients
- 1 Cup of brown sugar, packed
- 3 Tablespoons of cinnamon, ground
- 1/2 Cup of butter, softened
- 4 Cups of flour
- 2 Tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 2 Teaspoons of salt
- 6 Teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 Cup of Vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 Cups of milk
- 2 Cups of powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons of butter, softened
- 1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 3-4 Tablespoons of milk
Instructions
Filling
Cream Cream together butter, cinnamon and brown sugar
Dough
Preheat Preheat oven to 400 F
Whisk dry ingredients whisk together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder until thoroughly mixed
Whisk wet ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, egg and milk
Combine Combine wet and dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Knead until smooth
Roll Roll dough to 1/2" thickness or less. The more square your dough, the larger the roll will be.
Spread the filling Gently spread a thin layer of filling across the dough. Hands should move over dough easily without "snagging".
Roll into shape Begin to roll the edge closest to you, tucking as necessary. Do not leave big gaps but do not roll it so tight as to stretch the dough.
Cut Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 3/4" to 1 1/2" slices depending on size preference. Place the rolls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Bake Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Glaze
Mix Mix powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and enough milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
Glaze DO NOT PUT ON EXTREMELY HOT ROLLS. Wait at least 10-15 minutes before icing to achieve dripping glaze.
