Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed. Next, combine the milk, eggs, and cooled butter in a separate bowl and mix until combined. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it becomes workable.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it into a 14×8-inch (36×20-cm) rectangle about ½ inches thick.

Step 3: Make the Cinnamon Filling

Spread the melted butter on top of the rolled dough. Mix the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously on top. Be sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor! Roll up the dough to make a 14-inch log. Starting from one of the long edges of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Once the dough is rolled up, pinch the seams to seal the roll.

Step 5: cut and Arrange

Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 10–12 even rolls and arrange them in a lightly greased pan. They should be equal pieces (depending on how large you want your rolls). Arrange the cinnamon rolls in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or a round cake pan.

Step 6: Bake the Cinnamon Rolls

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. Keep an eye on them toward the end to ensure they don’t overbrown.

Step 7: Glaze the Cinnamon Rolls

While the cinnamon rolls are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Once the rolls are out of the oven, let them cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls for that sweet finishing touch. Serve and enjoy!
