Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  7. Whisk glaze ingredients together and drizzle over warm rolls. Serve fresh!

Notes

Use dental floss to cut perfect cinnamon rolls without squishing them. For extra gooey rolls, pour a little heavy cream over them before baking.
