Ingredients
Scale
Rolls and Filling
- 1 pkg. King’s Hawaiian Rolls, original (12 count)
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
Icing
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbs. butter (melted)
- 1/8 tsp. kosher salt
- 1–2 Tbs. milk
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Cinnamon Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Slice the sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half, separating the top from the bottom.
- Prepare the Base: Place the bottom half of the Hawaiian rolls into a greased 9×13 baking pan. Spread 1/4 cup of the softened butter evenly over the bottom rolls.
- Add the Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle about two-thirds of this mixture evenly over the buttered rolls in the pan.
- Top Layer: Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over the cinnamon sugar layer. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup softened butter over the top rolls, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over them.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until the rolls are hot throughout and bubbly on top.
- Make the Icing: While the rolls bake, combine powdered sugar, melted butter, kosher salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Add milk slowly, one tablespoon at a time, until the icing reaches a pourable consistency.
- Drizzle the Icing: Warm the icing slightly in the microwave for a few seconds to loosen. Slowly drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls.
- Serve: Enjoy the cinnamon rolls warm, fresh from the oven. They pair wonderfully with coffee or a cold glass of milk.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easy spreading on the rolls.
- The cinnamon sugar mixture can be adjusted to your taste preference.
- Warm the icing slightly for a smoother drizzle over the rolls.
- Use a greased pan to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture, as the rolls are best enjoyed warm.
