About this recipe
These start from a simple enriched dough. The swirl is butter, sugar, and cinnamon, and the icing is powdered sugar and milk, thin enough to stripe the tops.
Bake them touching so the sides stay soft and only the tops brown.
Why this recipe works
- A warm rise makes the rolls light.
- Baking them close keeps the sides tender.
- Thin icing soaks in instead of sitting like frosting.
Variations
- Add raisins to the filling.
- Skip the icing and dust with sugar.
How to serve
From the pan, while the icing is still glossy.
Storage and reheating
Most breakfast dishes are best fresh. Pancakes, waffles, and potato hash keep 3 days in the fridge and freeze for up to 2 months — reheat pancakes and waffles in a toaster. Cook eggs fresh each time for the best texture.
