Delicious Brown Butter Cinnamon Rolls Recipe

These cinnamon rolls are made with a soft dough that is filled with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted brown butter. After baking, they are drizzled with a creamy glaze, making them a perfect treat for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup whole milk, warmed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, browned
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warmed milk, melted butter, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Add eggs and salt, then gradually mix in flour until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
3. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, and browned butter until well combined.
4. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the filling evenly over the dough.
5. Shape the Rolls: Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Prepare the Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
8. Glaze and Serve: Once the rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm. Serve and enjoy!
