Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

FOR BUNS
  • 3½ cups All-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup Sugar (Granulated)
  • 1 packet Active dry yeast
  • 1 Egg (Large)
FOR GLAZE
  • 3 tbsp Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups Powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Make dough, let rise 1 hour.
  2. Roll out, spread with butter and cinnamon-sugar filling.
  3. Roll up, slice, and arrange in pan.
  4. Rise 1 hour, then bake until golden.
  5. Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm buns.

Notes

Ensure milk is warm (not hot) to activate yeast properly. Don't overbake - they should be just golden on top for the softest texture.
