Grandma’s Cinnamon Rolls

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

2. Roll Out the Dough:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

3. Add the Filling:

  • Spread the softened butter evenly over the surface of the dough.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

4. Roll Up the Dough:

  • Starting from one long edge, roll up the dough into a log.

5. Slice the Rolls:

  • Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 12 equal-sized rolls.

6. Bake the Rolls:

  • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving space between each roll.
  • Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake the risen rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Let the rolls cool slightly before serving.
  • Drizzle with icing if desired.
