Ingredients
Scale
For the rolls:
- 1 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for filling)
For the butterscotch cream cheese frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup butterscotch sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Make the dough: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cinnamon. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare the rolls: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 12×18 inches).
- Brush the dough with a little melted butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough tightly into a log, starting from the long edge. Slice into 12 even pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, cover with a towel, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the butterscotch sauce, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Frost the rolls: Once the rolls are done baking, allow them to cool slightly before spreading the butterscotch cream cheese frosting over the top. Serve warm.
Notes
- These rolls can be made ahead of time. After baking, allow them to cool, then cover and refrigerate. Reheat before serving and frosting.
- For an extra touch, drizzle more butterscotch sauce over the frosting for an added layer of sweetness.
- The frosting can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just bring it to room temperature before spreading on the rolls.
