Sour Cream Cinnamon Rolls, With Orange Cream Cheese Frosting

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

For Rolls:
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon cinnamon plus 1/2 cup brown sugar mixed
For Icing:
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange juice

Instructions

Prepare Rolls:

Generously grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and water together. Sprinkle with yeast and let stand 10-15 minutes or until dissolved.

Add the flour, salt, sour cream, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of dark brown sugar. Make into a soft dough. Roll out on lightly floured surface to within 1/2 inch thickness. Brush dough with melted butter. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon and brown sugar mixture. Roll up, jelly roll fashion, and cut into 12 slices.

Place on the prepared baking pan. Let rise until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.

In meantime, preheat your oven to 350F degrees. When rolls have doubled in size, bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Removed from oven and let cool while you prepare the cream cheese icing.

Prepare Icing:

Beat the softened cream cheese and butter on medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, beating at low speed until blended. Stir in the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of orange juice. Add the remaining tablespoon of orange juice slowly, stirring until icing is smooth and creamy.

Frost the cinnamon rolls and serve while still warm.

Notes

To make this recipe gluten-free, swap out the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free multi-purpose flour. Then add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum, which acts as a binding agent, thickener. All other ingredients in this recipe are typically gluten-free; most national brands (e.g. Daisy Sour Cream) are gluten-free but some brands may have additives so it's always important to read labels to confirm any processed product is free of gluten.
