EASY HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS WITHOUT YEAST

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• In a small saucepan set over low heat, combine the milk and butter. Cook just until the butter is melted. (Alternately, microwave the milk and butter together. See Kelly's Notes.)
• Add the milk mixture to the flour, and using a spatula, mix just until combined.
• Flour your work surface then turn out the dough and knead it for 1 minute until it comes together in a smooth ball. If the dough feels overly sticky, add more flour as needed, but do not over-knead the dough.
• Cover the dough loosely with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch baking dish with butter.
• Lightly flour your work surface then roll the dough into a 10x14-inch rectangle.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Brush the dough all over with the melted butter then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
• Beginning at the long end, tightly roll the dough up into a log. Trim off the edges then slice the log into 9 rolls.
• Arrange the rolls in the greased baking dish.
• Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until they are pale golden and baked through. While the rolls are baking, make the frosting.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter. Using a handheld mixer, beat the ingredients until smooth then add the vanilla and beat just until combined.
• Add the confectioners' sugar and beat just until combined.
• Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool completely before frosting and serving.
• The milk and butter must be melted together. Using cold milk causes the melted better to resolidify, which leads to an uneven dough.
