Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tablespoon melted butter (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Splash of milk (for icing)

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons (30g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  2. Slowly add 2 tablespoons (30ml) milk and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  3. Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and knead the dough gently for about 1 minute. Roll it into a thin rectangle using your hands or a rolling pin.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Spread 1/2 tablespoon melted butter over the dough rectangle and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.
  5. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then coil it into a spiral shape. Place the spiral in a greased microwave-safe mug.
  6. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds, or until the cinnamon roll has puffed up and is cooked through. (Microwave times may vary, so check after 1 minute.)
  7. While the roll is cooking, prepare the icing: mix 1 tablespoon powdered sugar with 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and a splash of milk until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon roll and enjoy immediately!

Notes

[‘If your dough feels too sticky to work with, sprinkle a bit more flour on your work surface and hands to make handling easier.’, ‘Microwave power varies, so start with 1 minute and check. Add 10-15 seconds if needed, but avoid overcooking.’, ‘Roll the dough tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out.’, ‘You can adjust the sweetness by reducing the amount of brown sugar or skipping the icing.’]
