How to Make This Recipe
To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon quick rise yeast
To make the dough, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12-inch square. Spread the softened butter over the dough and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the butter. Roll the dough up tightly and cut it into 12 rolls. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before frosting them with your favorite frosting.
