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
