Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl stir together 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and cinnamon. Into a large bowl sift together flour, remaining tablespoon granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut butter into small pieces and with your fingertips or a pastry blender blend into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal. In another small bowl whisk together egg and 3 tablespoons milk and add to flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Transfer mixture to a lightly floured surface and gently knead, 3 or 4 times, until it forms a dough. Pat dough into a 10- by 6-inch rectangle (about ‚ inch thick). Brush dough with some remaining milk and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon sugar. Beginning with a short side, roll up rectangle to form a 6-inch log and cut crosswise into 4 pieces. Arrange pieces on a baking sheet, cut sides up, with seams touching. Bake buns in middle of oven until pale golden and cooked through, about 18 minutes.
- In another small bowl stir together confectioners' sugar and water until smooth and drizzle over warm buns.
BEST CINNAMON ROLLS
When I married him, I discovered that my husband's family has the best cinnamon roll recipe! I asked his mom how to make homemade cinnamon rolls, and I've been making them ever since. Serve them with scrambled eggs, and you have a filling breakfast. As a variation, you can replace the filling with a mixture of raisins and pecans. -Shenai Fisher, Topeka, Kansas

CHRISTMAS EVE SHORTCUT CINNAMON BUNS
This recipe is very similar to monkey bread. It was very easy to make - we love preparing something the night before and just having to pop it in the oven. (It looked like you worked really hard while my family was still sleeping lol.)

Steps:
- 1. Lightly grease a 10-inch bundt cake pan. Place frozen rolls into the pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, the pudding mix and cinnamon. Pour melted butter over the top. If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a muffin tin, but they turn out better in a bundt pan.
- 2. Cover with a clean, damp cloth and leave overnight at room temperature to rise.
- 3. In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Turn rolls out onto a serving plate and dig in!
Tips:
- Use fresh yeast for the best results. If using active dry yeast, proof it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough.
- Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the dough. This will help create a flaky, tender crust.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, but not tough. Over-kneading will result in a tough, dense bun.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it is doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle and spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the surface. Roll the dough up tightly and slice it into individual buns.
- Place the buns in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the buns at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the buns warm with cream cheese frosting or your favorite glaze.
