Directions

  1. 1

    Roll up tightly, cut into 12 slices, and arrange in a greased baking pan. Let rise for 30 minutes.

    Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls.

Chef's tip

Ensure the milk is not too hot when added to avoid killing the yeast.
