Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package King’s Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Carefully slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create a top and bottom half, ensuring not to separate them fully so the rolls stay connected.
  2. Add Butter and Cinnamon Sugar: Brush the melted butter evenly over the bottom half of the sliced rolls. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the buttered surface, making sure to cover all areas for maximum flavor.
  3. Reassemble and Bake: Place the top half of the rolls back over the cinnamon sugar layer. Place the assembled rolls on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and the cinnamon sugar is melted and bubbly.
  4. Prepare Icing: While the rolls bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Adjust the milk quantity to achieve your preferred icing consistency.
  5. Glaze Rolls: Once the rolls are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the prepared icing over the warm rolls.
  6. Serve: Serve warm and enjoy your soft, sweet King’s Hawaiian Cinnamon Rolls fresh out of the oven!

Notes

  • For extra gooey cinnamon rolls, increase the butter and cinnamon sugar quantity slightly.
  • You can add chopped nuts or raisins in the cinnamon sugar layer for added texture.
  • If you prefer, replace milk in the icing with cream for a richer flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving.
