My first time making cinnamon rolls from scratch

    It was a bit of a Frankenstein recipe.

    I followed [Babish’s recipe](https://youtu.be/QsMNoGvPAJ4?si=F2K0y3kBqwivaamz) for the dough. And baking and icing instructions.

    Note: I did have to add more flour. Somewhere around a 1/2 cup more by the end.

    Then I followed [Brian Lagerstrom’s recipe](https://www.brianlagerstrom.com/recipes/giant-cinnamon-rolls) for the filling. I just thought creaming the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt would make it easier to spread. It was.

    Then I used my mom’s icing recipe. I’m sure this can be found elsewhere. I just asked her how she normally makes it and this is what she told me:

    1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter

    4 Tbsp Milk

    ~1 Cup Powdered Sugar

    Put the butter and milk in a microwave safe bowl and heat until butter has melted (about 30 seconds). Then add the powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.

  2. These look incredible. Can’t believe this is the first time!

    100/10! My tastebuds say, “YES! YES! YES!”. My diabetes say, “NO!!!”. Would eat 2.

    Cinnamon rolls are a lot of work, but always worth it.
