  • Icing

Directions

For the dough, dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in warm water; set aside. In large mixing bowl, combine milk, remainder of the 2/3 cup sugar, butter and eggs. Add yeast mixture and 2 cups of the flour and beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a stiff dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 8 minutes. Place dough into a large, greased bowl, cover, and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Punch dough down and allow to rest for 5 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a 15 x 18 rectangle.

For the filling, mix together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread the melted butter over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the dough, leaving 1 inch clear along the long side furthest away from you. Tightly roll up dough away from you and pinch edges together to seal.

Using unflavored dental floss or a serrated knife, cut the dough into 12 equal slices and place swirl side up on a Reynold's Wrap® Non-Stick Foil lined baking sheet. Loosely cover with a towel and allow to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until golden.

Meanwhile for icing, stir together powdered sugar, butter and extract. Add water until desired consistency is achieved. Decorate slightly cooled rolls by piping or spreading the prepared icing.

Once cooled, wrap your Cinnamon Rolls in Reynolds Wrap® Fun Foil to bring joy to everyday moments, potlucks, or give as a gift!
