Single-Serve Cinnamon Roll

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting if needed)
• 1 tsp granulated sugar (for the dough)
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• salt (a pinch)
• 3 tbsp milk (lukewarm; use a little less or more as needed to form a soft dough)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (melted and divided between the dough and filling)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar (for the filling)
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon (for the filling)
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 1 tsp milk (for optional glaze; add gradually)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small ovenproof ramekin or baking dish.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   Add the lukewarm milk and about half of the melted butter. Stir just until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms; do not knead. If the dough seems dry, add a few drops of milk, and if it is very sticky, dust it with a little flour.

4. 4

   Lightly flour a work surface and gently roll or pat the dough into a small rectangle, approximately 5 by 7 inches. Avoid working the dough more than necessary so the finished roll stays tender.

5. 5

   Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining melted butter.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the buttered dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon over the sugar.

7. 7

   Starting from one short end, roll the dough into a snug spiral. Pinch the seam closed and place the roll seam-side down in the prepared dish.

8. 8

   Bake for about 16 to 20 minutes, until the roll is puffed, lightly golden on top, and cooked through while remaining soft in the center. Do not overbake, or the small roll may become dry.

9. 9

   For an optional glaze, stir the powdered sugar with the milk until smooth. Add the milk gradually until the glaze is thick but pourable.

10. 10

    Let the cinnamon roll cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then drizzle with the glaze and serve warm.
