Directions
-
Boil the milk in a medium-sized pot.
-
Mix the pudding powder with cold water.
-
Then stir in the boiling milk.
-
Cook briefly until the pudding is thickened.
-
Remove the pot from the oven.
-
Stir in the butter until it melts.
-
Then stir in sugar and eggs.
-
Let the pudding mixture cool down, crumble the yeast and stir in.
-
Mix salt and flour in a large bowl.
-
Add the pudding mixture and knead to a soft, slightly sticky dough.
-
Let the dough rest for one to two hours – or until the dough has doubled.
-
Now cut the dough in half and roll out on a well-floured surface. At the end, the dough should have a rectangular shape with a thickness of 1 centimeter.
-
Spread the dough generously with half the liquid butter.
-
Then sprinkle the dough with half of the cinnamon and the brown sugar.
-
Roll up the dough very tightly and cut into 4 cm wide pieces.
-
Repeat steps 12 to 15 for the second dough piece.
-
Place the cinnamon rolls with a bit distance from each other on a baking tray.
-
Let the cinnamon rolls rest for another 30 minutes.
-
Then bake the cinnamon rolls at 200 ° Celcius for about 20 minutes. Make sure that the cinnamon rolls do not become too brown.
-
For the frosting, mix all the ingredients with a hand mixer to a creamy mass. Then generously spread over the warm cinnamon rolls.
