  • Filling: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Brush melted butter on top of the dough. Leaving an inch on one of the sides without butter.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the butter.
  • With the help of the wax paper, start rolling the dough on the longest side (leaving the side without butter for last) and pinching the ends at the same time.
  • Cut the rolls into 8 equal portions and put them in the prepared baking pan. (If desired, brush the tops with melted butter).
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brwn and firm to the touch.
  • For the drizzle: In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients. It needs to be thick.
  • Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle icing all over. Serve hot.
