I halved the recipe & it made 8 totally delicious cinnamon rolls. They weren't hard at all to make. I skipped the glaze -- I like icing better, and these were plenty decadent without it. They also only needed about 8 minutes in the oven. They were perfect when they were hot & fresh out of the oven; the filling gets a little crumbly once they cool, but it's still delicious.
Here's the recipe with instructions.
Dough:
2 cups flour
2 tbsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter, softened/melted
3/4 cup milk (I used almond milk and it was fine)
Filling:
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tsp cinnamon (+ a dash extra because it's delicious)
Combine all the dough ingredients in a bowl. Spread the dough out in a rectangle-ish shape on a not sticky surface (I used a plastic cutting board). If you're making the full recipe, you may want to make 2 rectangles instead. Make the filling. Spread it all over the dough, getting it as close to the edges as possible (especially the long edges -- you can leave a little bit of dough exposed on the short edges). Roll up the dough into a tube (put the long edges with all the goo on them at the ends of the tube). Slice the tube into whatever thickness you want your rolls to be (mine were about 3/4 inch, & I got 8 from the half recipe). Bake at 400 for 8 minutes or until done looking.
Edit: If you're going to eat these after they cooled (I had 2 for breakfast and am snacking on the other 2 now), you could definitely get away with less filling, since it just crumbles all over the place and is super sugary.
