Classic Cinnamon Rolls

By Hklbrries

For a twist, Fertig swapped the usual cream cheese frosting for an icing flavored with coffee and maple syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 recipe Traditional Cinnamon Roll Dough (Recipe in this collection)
• Flour for dusting
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided and softened
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon whole milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
• 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

Preparation

Step 1

For the pan sauce, spread 4 tablespoons of the butter into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch pan.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll out to a 16-by-20-inch rectangle.

For the filling, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Spread the dough with 4 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Starting with the shorter side, roll up the dough to form a tight 16-inch cylinder. Cut the cylinder into 12 rolls. Place in the prepared pan, spiral side up. Cover with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, 45 to 60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

For the glaze, whisk the remaining ingredients together in a medium bowl. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
