Ingredients

Rolls

  • 2 C Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • ½ C Butter cold and cubed
  • ¾ C Milk

Filling

  • 4 tablespoon Butter melted
  • ½ C Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Cinnamon

Frosting

  • 2 C Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3 tablespoon Butter melted
  • 4 tablespoon Heavy Cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.

For the filling

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Set aside.

For the rolls

  • In a food processor pulse to combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • Add in cubed butter and process about 8 seconds until mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Pour flour mixture into a mixing bowl. Add milk and stir with spatula.
  • Turn out onto a floured work surface and roll out into a 7x11 square.
  • Fold dough into thirds width wise.
  • Turn 90 degrees and roll out again.
  • Repeat this laminating process 5 or so times (the more you fold the more flaky layers are achieved)
  • Cut dough in half. Roll out 1 piece of dough into a rectangle about 6"x12".
  • Using half the filling, spoon and spread over dough making sure to get all the way to the edge.
  • Roll dough lengthwise into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice log in 1 inch sections. Repeat using the rest of the dough.
  • Butter cast iron skillet or pan and arrange cinnamon rolls. I am able to fit all the rolls into one 12 inch cast iron skillet.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes on center rack.
  • Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until rolls are nicely browned.
  • While rolls are baking make the frosting by whisking together all ingredients
  • Remove rolls from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before frosting
  • Cinnamon Rolls are best fresh out of the oven but will stay fresh for 2 days in an air tight container

Notes

* if splitting dough into 2 pans you will need to adjust your bake time. Mine cooked at 18 minutes uncovered and came out perfect
