INGREDIENTS

For the Dough:

3-1/2 Cups plain flour
2 Teaspoons instant yeast
¼ Cup sugar
¾ Cup warm milk
¼ Cup warm water
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon cinnamon
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 Cup melted butter
2 Eggs

For the filling:

1/2 Cup butter at room temperature
7 Tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 Cup cinnamon
½ Teaspoon nutmeg

For the glaze:

4 oz Cream cheese
3 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 Pinch of salt
1 Teaspoon lemon juice
1-1/2 Cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk (may need more if necessary)

PREPARATION

In the bowl add the flour, salt, spices, sugar and yeast, then mix to combine and set aside.
In a separate bowl add the milk, butter, eggs, vanilla and water.
Incorporate the liquids into the dry, mix until the dough comes together and is sticky but does not stick to your fingers.
Pour the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, sprinkle with additional flour as needed, then transfer to a large greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place.
In a bowl mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside.
On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Spread the room temperature butter over the surface, sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar and then roll into a spiral.
Cut the dough into equal pieces about an inch and a half long.
Place the rolls in a baking dish and let them rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes for a final rise.
Heat oven to 350°F and bake for about 30 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
Remove from oven and let cool.
Place the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, salt, lemon juice and two tablespoons of milk in a bowl and beat until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and beat once more until fully incorporated.
Add one or two more tablespoons of milk if you prefer a thinner frosting.
Drizzle the glaze over the cinnamon rolls and serve. Enjoy!
