Ingredients

• 1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup cinnamon sugar

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
6. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12×18 inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the butter. Starting at the long edge, roll the dough up tightly. Pinch the seam closed and cut the roll into 12 pieces.
7. Place the cinnamon rolls in the prepared baking pan, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
8. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before frosting.
9. To make the frosting, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth. Drizzle the frosting over the cooled cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
