Instructions

  • Combine the buttermilk and butter in a measuring cup.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the buttermilk mixture and eggs, and mix until the dough comes together.
  • Knead until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too stick add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is slightly sticky to the touch.
  • Cover and let rise 2 - 2 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • When the dough has risen, grease or line with parchment paper a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Punch the dough down and press it into a 12 x 16 inch rectangle.
  • Brush the 1/2 cup butter over the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border on all sides. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the dough, pushing the sugar mixture gently into the dough with your hands.
  • Roll the dough into a tight log, seam side down. Cut the dough into twelve even sized rolls using a serrated knife.
  • Place cut side down in prepared baking dish.
  • Cover and let rise 1 - 1 1/2 hours, until doubled.
  • While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the rolls for 22-25 minutes, until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla, and drizzle it over the warm rolls. Enjoy!
