Instructions
Cinnamon Roll Dough (skip if using store bought)

- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Slowly add the yeast and lukewarm milk mixture. Add egg and mix.
- Gradually add in 1 cup of flower while kneading (by hand or with mixer) until dough forms a ball and pulls away from edges of the bowl.
- Let dough rest for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°.
Shaping Cinnabunnies
- If you're using store bought can, unroll 2 rolls in lieu of the next step.If you're making from scratch, roll the rough into a rectangle and cut into 2/3 and 1/3. Combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top.
- Cut into strips, roll and seal (pinching your fingers with water) the larger side of the roll.
- Cut the smaller portion into strips folding each side to meet the middle. Seal by pinching with water. Do the same to adhere both pieces together creating bunnies.
- Cover rolls in 1/4 cup of heaving cream. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until slightly golden.
Icing
- Mix icing ingredients until smooth.
- Drizzle over rolls.
