The Best Cinnamon Roll Recipe Without Yeast

1. First you’ll mix together your dry ingredients, that means your flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

After those are all mixed together you’ll cut your butter into the flour mixture. I like to grate the butter with a cheese grater to make the pieces smaller and to help this process go smoother. Keep working the butter into the dough until it’s mixed well throughout and you have small pea sized clumps.

Add in the milk and work it into the dough with a fork or spoon, using your hands as needed to get the dough fully mixed. Then dump the dough onto a floured counter top and work it into a ball, adding more flour as needed. Let the dough rest for a couple minutes.

2. Roll the dough out into a rectangle that is about 10×14 inches, and the dough is about 1/4 inch thick.

3. Spread the softened butter over the edges over the dough.

4. Then combine your brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle that over the top of the butter.

5. Carefully roll the dough up onto itself, starting with the wide ends, and roll it tightly.

6. Cut the roll into 8 or 9 equal pieces, about an inch and a half wide each.

7. Add the rolls to a well greased 9inch round cake pan.

8. Bake them up until they are golden brown and the centers are baked.

9. Add cream cheese frosting and

10. Spread it evenly over the top of the rolls. And now they’re ready to enjoy!

Tips for making this Cinnamon Roll Recipe without Yeast

• Bake the cinnamon rolls up in a muffin tin to give them crunchier edges, the recipe as is makes about 8 cinnamon roll muffins.
• The recipe makes a lot of frosting, if you don’t want too much you can cut the recipe in half. Or you can make two pans of cinnamon rolls by doubling the roll part of the recipe. If you double the recipe bake them in a 10×15 jelly roll  pan, or 2 square pans.
