- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Spread about two-thirds of the dough into the prepared skillet.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough in the skillet.
- Dollop the remaining dough over the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the cinnamon roll is out of the oven, let it cool slightly before drizzling the glaze over the top.
Notes
- For an extra gooey center, you can add a few dollops of cream cheese to the cinnamon-sugar layer.
- Feel free to add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the filling.
- Serve warm with a glass of milk for the ultimate comfort treat.
