One Hour Cinnamon Rolls

By MichelleF

Lilluna ~ I didn’t time this recipe, but it took about an hour. I made these the evening before. They taste even better heated the next day for about 15-20 seconds. Beware: They’re super sweet!!

• 3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Using a stand mixer, mix together water, buttermilk, sugar, melted butter, & yeast with a whisk. Allow to sit for 15 minutes. Attach the dough hook to the mixer. Add salt, eggs, & flour. Mix for 10 minutes, then allow to sit for 10 minutes. Prepare the filling by mixing together melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, & cinnamon. Set aside. On a floured service, roll dough into a 12 x 16 inch square. Spread filling over the top & roll up. Cut into 12 large rolls. Place rolls on a large cookie sheet covered with a Silpat or parchment paper. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes. While rolls are baking, mix together the frosting ingredients. Spread on warm rolls & serve. Serves 12.
