Grandma’s Cinnamon Rolls

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter with your hands.

In a separate bowl, mix egg and milk.

Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients.

Add the liquid ingredients and mix with a spoon.

After mixing, place on a floured work surface.

Roll out the dough to about 0.6 cm thick.

Spread soft butter on top.

Cover butter with brown sugar and sprinkle cinnamon on top. If you need to use more cinnamon than recommended, that’s no problem.

Roll up the dough tightly.

Cut into about 1 cm thick slices and place on a greased baking tray or baking paper.

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes.

Let cool on a rack.

For a unique twist on Grandma’s classic cinnamon rolls, consider adding your own variations to the recipe.

Incorporate the zest and juice of oranges or clementines into the filling for a bright citrusy flavor,

or sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.

Soaking raisins in liqueurs such as Grand Marnier or Amaretto can elevate the richness of the rolls.

For an indulgent topping, swap the traditional glaze for a tangy cream cheese frosting.

These simple adjustments allow you to customize the recipe while maintaining the timeless comfort of this beloved treat.
