"Emergency" Cinnamon Rolls - Probably a Repost

It's a great day to bake. Every day is a great day for "min-min" rolls as the grandkids say.

The recipe reminds me of Nana Murphy's "triangle roll-ups" from left over pie crust (in the 1960's).

1. Start "mise en place" - gather ingredients and prep tools (I find a pastry scraper/cutter is helpful) 

2. Substitute? For the dough, instead of milk, half-and-half (richer) or oat milk?

3. Get underway.

The recipe: 

Why this works

• No yeast

• No rise time

• Soft, biscuit-like texture

• Cinnamon!

Ingredients

Dough

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• ¾ cup milk

• ¼ cup melted butter

Filling

• ½ cup brown sugar

• 2 tbsp cinnamon (don’t be shy)

• 2 tbsp softened butter

Optional glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1–2 tbsp milk

• Splash of vanilla

Steps (15 minutes prep)

1. Heat oven to 375°F.

2. Mix dry dough ingredients, stir in milk + butter.

3. Roll into a rectangle.

4. Spread butter, sprinkle brown sugar + cinnamon.

5. Roll tight, slice.

6. Bake 20–25 min.

7. Glaze warm.

 As we say in our family, "Don't Waste It."
