Stop-and-make-immediately Cinnamon Rolls!

Hey everyone!

So cinnamon rolls are something that almost everyone likes - at least, I've never met anyone who doesn't like a cinnamon roll. The problem is that they're always so huge in the stores, and they take a long time to make at home - until now. These are tiny little cinnamon rolls (1" wide, 1/2" tall), and they can be made in about 20 minutes or less (depending on how long it takes you to mix the ingredients).

Don't lie, you want to make those right now! All you need are the following ingredients, a microwave, a bowl, and a microwavable container - I used a sandwich-sized one.

So here are the ingredients:

Dough*:

• 1/3 cup + 1-2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar 
• 2/3 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/6 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoon milk

*Since this dough doesn't have yeast, and doesn't have to rise, it won't be as flaky as a normal cinnamon roll - it's more doughy, but still delicious.

Filling:

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 2.5 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

Glaze:

• 2.5 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 2/3 teaspoon milk
• small pinch of ground cinnamon

And now that you're ready to get started, here are the directions:

1.  Start with the dough. Mix 1/3 cup flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add in butter (cut into small pieces) and massage it in until the butter is incorporated and pea-sized or smaller. Then, add the milk (1 tablespoon at a time). At this point, you want a dough that's a little bit sticky, but not enough to stick to your hands. You want to be able to roll it out, so if there's too much liquid, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time to reach desired consistency. If too dry, add a little bit more milk. 
2. Now roll the dough out into a small rectangle, about 1/4" thick. 
3. Prepare the filling by mixing the ingredients together. Then place the filling on top of the rolled out dough.
4. Roll the dough into a tube, and cut into 7-8 pieces, about 1/2" thick each.
5. Prepare your container with cooking spray or a light coat of vegetable oil. Place the cinnamon rolls into the container.
6. Bake in the microwave for 2 minutes (don't want to over-bake these!)
7. While it bakes, prepare the glaze by mixing the ingredients together. 
8. When the cinnamon rolls are still hot, pour the glaze over the top, and enjoy!
