Ingredients
- 1 12-count package Hawaiian Rolls (I use King's Hawaiian sweet rolls)
- ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter divided
- 3 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Vanilla Icing
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon milk or cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and brush a little of the melted butter into a baking pan (I use a 9x9" pan).
- Keeping the Hawaiian rolls connected in one piece (don’t separate them), slice them horizontally in half so that you have a top half and a bottom half.
- Brush all but 2 tablespoon of the butter on both halves of the rolls.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and white sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle all but 1 tablespoon of this mixture evenly over both buttered halves. Place the top half of the rolls back onto the bottom half, pressing them together gently.
- Place rolls in prepared pan and brush remaining butter over the tops. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Cover pan with foil and place in oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until tops of rolls are caramelized.
- Remove from oven and drizzle vanilla icing over the top
Vanilla Icing
- Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Notes
- Store Hawaiian roll cinnamon rolls in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for 2 days or in the fridge for 5-7 days.
