Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Warm the liquids
- Add the butter and milk to a heat-safe bowl and heat until just warm to the touch (about 60–90 seconds in the microwave). The mixture should be warm—not hot.
Step 2: Mix the dough
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, instant yeast, and granulated sugar.
- Pour in the warm milk and butter mixture, then add the egg.
Step 3: Form the dough
- Using a paddle or dough hook attachment, mix on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until a soft dough forms.
Step 4: Knead & rise
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10–15 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Lightly oil a medium-sized bowl with about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Place the dough inside, brushing a little oil over the top.
- Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Make the filling
- While the dough rises, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, heavy cream, and room-temperature browned butter (or regular butter) until smooth and spreadable.
Step 6: Roll & fill
- Once risen, transfer the dough back to a floured surface and roll it out into a thin rectangle.
- Spread the filling evenly across the dough, then roll it up tightly into a log.
Step 7: Slice & rise again
- Cut the dough into rolls using floss or a string for clean edges. Place rolls into a buttered baking pan and cover with a kitchen towel.
- Let rise again for about 1 hour, until puffed and nearly doubled.
Step 8: Bake
- Bake at 350°F for 28 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before glazing.
Step 9: Glaze & serve
- Whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over warm rolls and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 6 days, or in the fridge for up to 10 days.
