Dough
- 1 ½ tablespoons salted butter, melted (set aside)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk, I prefer whole milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Filling
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk, (can also use heavy cream)
Dough
Add the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla, and melted butter to a small bowl and stir until combined.
One the dough is solid, drop onto a clean and slightly floured surface.
Use your hands to flatten dough into a rectangle .
Filling
In a small bowl, melt the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for about 1 minute. (Depending on how cold your butter is.) Stir well.
Assembly
Pour filling over dough rectangle and then roll up into a cinnamon roll shape.
Place roll into mug (I prefer to use a standard size mug, nothing too wide). Make sure your mug is sprayed with non-stick spray or greased.
Heat roll in microwave for 90 seconds. If the dough appears WET on top, it may need to heat for a few more seconds. (10 second increments.) If the dough appears dry the cinnamon roll is done. You can also test with a toothpick.
