Steps

40mins

1

Pre heat the oven to 375 degrees f(190 degrees c). Grease your baking tray.
2

Make a dough:in a large bowl,combine the flour,milk,melted butter,egg,sugar,baking powder,salt and yeast. Mix with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a clean surface and knead for about 1 minute, until mostly smooth and the dough springs back when poked. Return the dough to the bowl,cover with a kitchen towel,and let rest while you make the filling.
3

Make the filling: in a medium bowl,mix together the sugar,melted butter and cinnamon until combined.
4

Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 12/16 inch rectangle
5

Spread the filling evenly over the dough. Starting with the long edge,tightly roll the dough into a log. Cut the log into 9 even pieces
6

Transfer the cinnamon rolls to the prepared baking pan.Bake for 25 minutes, until light golden brown around the edges.
7

While the cinnamon rolls bak,make the frosting: in a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese,powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
8

Let the cinnamon rolls cook for 10 minutes, then cover with the frosting.
