  • FILLING:
    • 1 cup melted butter, plus more as needed: Adds richness and flavor to the filling.
    • 1/8 cup ground cinnamon for sprinkling: The key spice that gives these rolls their signature taste.
    • 1 cup sugar, plus more as needed: Sweetens the filling, complementing the cinnamon.
  • FROSTING:
    • 1 lb. powdered sugar: Creates a sweet and smooth frosting.
    • 1 tsp. maple flavoring: Adds a unique depth of flavor.
    • 1/4 cup milk: Thins the frosting to the right consistency.
    • 1/8 cup melted butter: Adds richness to the frosting.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by mixing milk, vegetable oil, and sugar in a pan. Heat until just before boiling, then cool to lukewarm. Sprinkle yeast and let sit, then add 4 cups of flour, stirring and letting it rise.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Mix in the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Roll and Fill: Roll dough to a thin rectangle, brush with melted butter, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon, then roll up tightly.
  4. Cut and Bake: Cut into slices, place in buttered pans, let rise again, and bake until golden.

Notes

  • Tips: For an extra gooey center, add a bit more butter and sugar to the filling. If you prefer a more pronounced cinnamon flavor, don’t hesitate to increase the amount of cinnamon.
  • Notes: This recipe is versatile. Feel free to add nuts or raisins to the filling for added texture and flavor.
