We like to enjoy these cinnamon rolls with a glass of milk in the morning or on the go to work. If you're like me then you are going to dunk these rolls in some coffee while you sit at your desk in a nostalgic state and just enjoy these puppies.

Let's Get Started…

Ingredients To Gather:

• 1 cups warm milk (not hot)
• ½ Tbsp active dry yeast
• 4 Tbsp sugar, (divided)
• 3 cups + 2-4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 Tbsp melted unsalted butter
• ½ tsp salt
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened + 1 Tbsp for pan
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
• 2 Tbsp real maple syrup
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 2-4 Tbsp milk

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

1. Preheat your oven to 360°F
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, add 1 cup warm milk and sprinkle the top with ½ Tbsp yeast. Let sit for 5-7 five minutes at room temp.
3. Add ½ cup flour and 2 Tbsp sugar. Whisk together until blended, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise at room temperature for 35-45 minutes.
4. Whisk in the 1 egg, remaining 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp melted butter and ½ tsp salt.
5. Now using the dough hook, add the remaining 2½ cups of flour (1/2 cup at a time) letting it blend into the dough before each addition. Once all of the flour is in, knead on low speed with the dough hook for 10 minutes.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm 100˚ oven for 1 hour (2 hours in a warm room). The dough will nearly double in volume.
7. Generously flour a large non-stick work surface and the top of your dough and roll dough into a 17″x10″ rectangle.
8. Use a spatula to spread your 6 Tbsp softened butter over the top. Sprinkle the top evenly with cinnamon/sugar mixture.
9. Roll the dough up starting with one of the longer sides, keeping a tight roll.
10. Cut the cinnamon roll into 16 equal pieces. Butter the sides and bottom of your 9×13 baking pan and add cinnamon rolls slightly spaced, cut-side down.
11. Cover with plastic wrap and let the cinnamon rolls rise in a warm 100˚ oven for 30 minutes or until they look puffy (or 50 minutes in a warm room).
12. Once cinnamon rolls have risen, brush tops with 1 Tbsp melted butter and bake at 360˚F for 20 mins or until tops are light golden brown.
13. Ten minutes before the cinnamon rolls come out of the oven, melt 4 Tbsp butter in a small saucepan and whisk in 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp maple syrup and ⅛ tsp salt.
14. Finally whisk in about 2 -4 Tbsp milk to desired consistency and stir until smooth.
15. Pour over cinnamon rolls while they are still hot out of the oven.

Finished!
