Quick & Easy Cinnamon Rolls with a Maple Glaze
Description
Quick & Easy Cinnamon Rolls with a Maple Glaze begins with a straightforward dough made from flour, baking powder, salt, cold butter, and milk. The dough is rolled thin, spread with softened butter, and sprinkled with a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon for a warm, sweet filling. Rolled into a log and sliced, the pieces are arranged cut-side up in a greased pan before baking until golden.
The result is a tender pastry with a lightly caramelized cinnamon sugar center. The rolls are cooled slightly and then coated with a smooth glaze combining powdered sugar, vanilla, maple syrup, and cream or milk. This glaze adds a fragrant sweetness complementing the rolls' warm spices.
These cinnamon rolls can be baked in various pans, such as pie plates or muffin tins, making the recipe adaptable. They offer a soft, sweet treat with manageable ingredients and a balance of textures and flavors attractive to many bakers.
Ingredients
CINNAMON ROLL DOUGH
- 2 cups flour (260 grams)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 cup butter 50 grams, cold
- 3/4 cup milk (180 grams)
**If using unsalted butter then add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
TOPPING
- 1 cup brown sugar 180 grams, lightly packed
- 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon optional
- 1/3 cup butter 70 grams, softened
MAPLE GLAZE
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 60 grams, aka icing sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/2 -1 tablespoon cream or milk
Instructions
- Pre- heat oven to 350 degrees (180 degrees). Lightly grease and flour an 8 inch pan (pie, cake or even a 12 medium size muffin tin) I used a pie plate.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt, then cut in the cold butter* until it resembles coarse crumbs, then add the milk and mix with the fork until the mixture becomes a soft dough, turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead just until dough is thoroughly combined.
- Roll dough out to rectangle that is 1/8 inch thick.
*I like to place the butter in the freezer 20 minutes before using, then grate it with a large hole grater, that way it is much easier to combine to make coarse crumbs.
TOPPING
- In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon (if using).
- Spread with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar / cinnamon mixture, pat down lightly. Starting with long end roll into a log, cut into 12-13 pieces, place the slices cut side up in the prepared baking dish (pie, cake or muffin). Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes (or until golden). Let cool before drizzling with glaze. Enjoy!
MAPLE GLAZE
- In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, vanilla and maple syrup if it is too thick add 1/2 tablespoon of the cream or milk, mix until smooth. Pour over cooled cinnamon buns.
