Cinnamon Butterflake Rolls

Do you love cinnamon rolls, but hate all the work preparing them?  Well, these Cinnamon Butterflake Rolls are made for you :)  They are a cinch to throw together and taste incredible.

Warm, cinnamon sugar rolls, that pull apart into soft flakey layers and are smothered in a sweet vanilla glaze, doesn't get much better than that.  Totally mouthwatering.  I make shortcut butterflake rolls all the time and this cinnamon version is right up there with my favorite orange version and garlic parmesan version.

INGREDIENTS

• 24 Rhodes Frozen Dinner Rolls  
• 2 Tbl. unsalted butter, melted
• 6 Tbl. light brown sugar, packed
• 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Vanilla Icing

• 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
• 1-2 Tbl. milk

INSTRUCTIONS

1.

2. Combine melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Using your hands rub the cinnamon/sugar paste all over the rolls, making sure to get inside every slit.  Spray plastic wrap with cooking spray and loosely cover rolls.  Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled.  
3. When rolls have risen, remove plastic wrap and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 15-16 minutes.  Carefully remove rolls from muffin tin as soon as they are finished baking.  Brush vanilla icing over the warm rolls.  Serve.
4. For the Vanilla Icing: Combine powdered sugar, one Tablespoon of milk and the vanilla extract and stir together until smooth and creamy.  If it's too thick, add a little more milk.
