**Quick Rise Cinnamon Rolls Recipe With Buttercream Frosting Video**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 package (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
– 1 cup warm milk
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 egg
– 4 cups all-purpose flour
**For the Filling:**
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
**For the Buttercream Frosting:**
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 3-4 tbsp heavy cream
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. To the yeast mixture, add the sugar, melted butter, salt, egg, and 2 cups of flour. Mix well until combined.
3. Gradually add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Once the dough has doubled, punch it down and roll it out into a 16×12 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
7. For the filling, spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly on top.
8. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces.
9. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Cover and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. While the rolls are baking, prepare the buttercream frosting by creaming the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
12. Once the cinnamon rolls are done, let them cool for a few minutes before generously frosting them with the buttercream topping.
13. Serve warm and enjoy these lusciously sweet Quick Rise Cinnamon Rolls with your favorite hot beverage or a glass of cold milk.
