EASY HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat milk and 1/3 cup butter together in a microwave-safe container in a microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until mixture reaches 120 to 130 degrees F (49 to 54 degrees C). If too cool, microwave for 15 seconds more; if too hot, let cool to proper temperature.

Mix by hand with a wooden spoon, or on the lowest speed with a mixer.
• Once the dough is holding together, turn out onto a floured board, knead for 1 minute. This dough is easy to work with-if it seems sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour onto it as you work. Turn the dough over once or twice as you are kneading, then roll the dough out into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick. Shoot for about a 9" by 13" rectangle, just like a baking pan, but don't worry if it is a bit bigger or smaller.
• Combine the filling ingredients, mixing well in a small bowl, then spread onto the dough using a flexible spatula, the back of a spoon or a pastry brush, smoothing out from the middle to 1/2 inch from the edge. Roll the dough up into a jellyroll from the long side, and, using a sharp knife, cut the dough as evenly as possible into 18 pieces.

Pour the 1/2 stick melted butter over the top of the dough rectangle and spread it almost to the edges with your hand. Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the butter. Starting with a long side of the rectangle, roll it up jelly-roll style as tightly as possible into a long roll, ending with seam side down. With a sharp knife, cut into 12 even slices. Generously coat the bottom and sides of an 11x7-inch baking pan (or equivalent) with softened butter. Place the rolls, just slightly apart, in the pan. Cover rolls loosely with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Place in a warm spot and let rise until doubled in size. (I usually heat the oven a minute or two at lowest setting, then turn the oven off. Don't put the rolls in until the oven feels just barely warm.) When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 F. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until done. Combine the icing ingredients; pour all over the top of the hot rolls, filling all the cracks and crevices.

LIGHT, EASY FROM SCRATCH CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with a foil sling and spray with vegetable oil spray.
• For the Filling: Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
• For the Dough: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter together. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until the dough comes together but looks shaggy, about 30 seconds. Transfer the dough to a floured counter and knead until just smooth and no longer shaggy, about 30 seconds.
• Pat the dough into a 12 by 9-inch rectangle with the long side facing you. brush the dough with the remaining tablespoon melted butter, then sprinkle the sugar mixture over it, leaving a 1/2 inch border along the top edge. Press on the filling to adhere it to the dough.
• Loosen the dough from the counter using a bench scraper (or metal spatula), and roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam closed and roll the log seam side down. Pat the ends to even them and slice the cylinder into 9 evenly sized rolls with a serrated knife. Slightly flatten each piece of dough to seal the open edges and keep the filling in place.
• Arrange the rolls cut side down in the prepared baking pan. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for about 12 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the edges of the rolls are golden brown, 12-14 minutes longer. Flip the rolls out onto a wire rack set over a sheet of parchment paper (for easy cleanup), remove the foil sling, and let cool for 5 minutes.
• For the Glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese and buttermilk together in a medium bowl until smooth. Flip the rolls upright, drizzle with the glaze, and serve.

• 3. Sprinkle white sugar over butter, followed by brown sugar and cinnamon. Add chopped nuts if desired. Spread all the way to the edges.
• 4. Starting on the long side of the dough, carefully roll the dough up into a log. Cut the dough into 8 pieces with a serrated knife. Carefully lift rolls to pan and arrange in a circle. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes, oven temps may vary so bake until golden brown.
• 5. Let rolls cool about 3-5 minutes and move them to a plate. using a fork, drizzle the topping over the rolls. Serve warm!
• 6. DRIZZLE: In a small bowl, melt the 1 T butter, add 1 T orange juice and stir well. Add powdered sugar until the consistency you like is reached. I like ours a little thicker, so I use closer to 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar. If it gets to thick, just add a few more drops of liquid. Milk will work in the place of the juice if you want a more traditional drizzle!
