Instructions
Let’s dive into the steps to create these delicious cinnamon rolls:
Preheat Your Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking and gives your cinnamon rolls that perfect golden-brown finish.
Prepare the Rolls:
Take your King’s Hawaiian rolls and slice them into individual pieces. Place them into a greased baking dish, making sure they’re snug and touching each other. This will help them rise beautifully and bake evenly.
Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar. Melt some butter in the microwave and brush it generously over each roll. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered rolls, ensuring each one is coated perfectly.
Bake to Perfection:
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through. The smell will be absolutely irresistible, so get ready to dive in!
Prepare the Frosting:
While the rolls are baking, make the frosting by mixing powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add a little milk if needed to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Drizzle and Serve:
Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the frosting generously over the warm rolls. Let them cool slightly before serving, but trust me, you won’t want to wait too long to dig in.
