Cinnamon Roll in a Mug

Cinnamon Roll in a Mug

AUTHOR: AMANDA RETTKE

INGREDIENTS

DOUGH

1½ 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)

INSTRUCTIONS

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.

GLAZE

Stir confectioners sugar and milk together in a bowl until smooth.

Pour over warm cinnamon roll in the mug or invert the roll onto a plate and pour glaze over top.
