Ingredients
Cinnamon Roll Filling
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 4 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoon butter semi-melted
Dough
- 2 ½ cups self rising flour
- 2 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 egg yolks
Instructions
- Prep your oven by preheating it to 350° Fahrenheit.
- Prep your filling. In a bowl, mix together ½ cup of packed brown sugar, 4 tablespoons of white granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Set butter aside, we will be using this after we finish making the dough. Set filling mix aside.
- Make your dough. In a large bowl, mix together 2 ½ cup of self rising flour, 2 tablespoons of white granulated sugar, ½ cup of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, pinch of salt, 1 cup of milk, and 2 egg yolks. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to mix everything together until smooth.
- Place your dough onto a clean working space. I placed a non-stick silicon baking mat on my kitchen table to put my dough onto. Lightly sprinkle and coat the baking mat with self rising flour. Use a rolling pin to roll and flatten out your dough to be ¼″ thick. Try to roll the dough out close to an elongated rectangular shape.
- After the dough is all rolled out, use the filling's semi-melted butter to spread all over your dough. Evenly sprinkle all your cinnamon roll filling on top of the spread out butter on your dough.
- Roll up the dough tightly starting from one of the longest side of the dough.
- Cut the dough into 8 or more equal rolls. Coat butter onto your oven proof dish. Arrange the rolls in your oven proof dish having the roll's "tails" towards each other so that the rolls don't unroll when baking.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 35 minutes. Optional to serve with icing.
