Step 1

Combine your butter, milk, sour cream, egg, vanilla, sugar, and spices. Pop in the microwave for a minute to warm up the mixture so that the yeast activates.

Step 2

Add your flour, instant yeast, and toasted milk powder if using (highly recommend). Knead using a stand mixer, or by hand, for 8-10min or until the dough is tacky to touch. Keep in mind that this is an enriched wet dough so only add flour if it’s really sticky, otherwise oil your hands to work it. Let the dough rest in a warm place until doubled in size (1-2 hours).

Step 3

Once the dough has proofed, roll it out in a rectangular shape. Spread melted or softened butter on top but leave the end strip without any butter so it can stick when rolling. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly.

Step 4

Roll the dough from the short side, and use a knife to mark where you will cut depending on how many rolls you want. Use unflavored dental floss to cut perfect-looking rolls. Place in a baking pan (don’t crowd them) to proof for another 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350f in the meantime.

Step 5

To make the frosting, cream the butter and powdered sugar until mixture is smooth. Add vanilla, cream cheese, and toasted milk powder, and mix until frosting is light and fluffy.

Step 6

Bake the rolls for about 28-30min or until the top has browned nicely. Allow to cool and spread your frosting on top, enjoy!
