Quick and Easy Cinnamon Rolls
From Anna Monette Roberts, PopSugar Food
Ingredients
- Cinnamon Rolls
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1/2 packed cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 package crescent roll dough
- Glaze
2 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Directions
- To make cinnamon rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the insides of a small (7-1/2-inch-by-5-1/2-inch) casserole dish with some of the melted butter, about one teaspoon. Set the butter aside. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- To assemble: Pop the crescent roll dough canister and carefully unravel dough into a long rectangular shape, careful not to tear the perforated markings. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat the dough with some of the melted butter, about one teaspoon or more, leaving a 1/4-inch border free of any butter. Then sprinkle the top of dough with the cinnamon sugar mixture, leaving the 1/4-inch borders free of sugar. Spread sugar evenly around the dough using a plastic bowl scraper, and then press it into the dough using a fork or your fingers. Drizzle the remaining melted butter on top of the sugar mixture until partially saturated.
- Roll the dough into a tight log. Slice it into eight even pieces (about 1/2 inch thick). Using a bench scraper or a spatula (so the cinnamon sugar does not pour out), transfer the dough pieces into a prepared baking dish and place them cut side up. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until dough begins to turn golden brown on top.
- To glaze: While rolls are baking, combine butter and cream cheese together in a mixer, then whip in lemon juice and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Using a spatula, spread the glaze evenly over cinnamon rolls. Place any leftover glaze in a bowl to serve on the side.
