🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
3/4 cup milk

For the Filling

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch round baking pan.
2In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3Add milk and stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
4Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 to 6 times. Roll into a 12×8 inch rectangle.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About No Yeast Cinnamon Rolls

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour?

Yes you can substitute up to half the flour with whole wheat flour. The rolls will be denser and slightly nuttier in flavor. You may need to add a tablespoon or two more milk if the dough seems dry.

2. How do I store leftover cinnamon rolls?

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can reheat them in the microwave for about 15 seconds or in a 300 degree oven for 5 minutes.

3. Can I make these dairy free?

Yes use a plant based butter and milk like almond or oat milk. Make sure your baking powder is dairy free. The rolls will still turn out soft and delicious.

4. Why did my cinnamon rolls turn out dry?

Overmixing the dough or baking them too long can cause dry rolls. Mix just until the dough comes together and check them at 18 minutes. Every oven is different so start checking early.

5. Can I freeze these cinnamon rolls?

Yes you can freeze baked and cooled rolls without glaze. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. They will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat before glazing.
