How to Make Best Cinnamon Rolls Period
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Grease a 9-inch nonstick cake pan with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Add 1 tablespoon of melted butter to the sugar mixture and stir with a fork until it resembles wet sand. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Roll the dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle.
- Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough.
- Tightly roll the dough up from the long side.
- Cut the roll into 9 equal pieces.
- Arrange the cinnamon rolls in the prepared pan.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the rolls cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before icing.
- While the rolls are cooling, prepare the icing: In a large bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/4 cup buttermilk, and 2 cups confectioners' sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle or spoon the icing generously over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
