Ingredients

1 pkg 12 Kings Hawaiian rolls
¾ cup salted butter room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Ising

1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Slice your Hawaiian rolls in half, as evenly as possible. Place the bottom half in a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until homogenous. Spread ¾ of the mixture over the bottom sheet of rolls. Place the top halves on top of the filling.
Top your buns with the remaining filling and bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops are crispy.
While your buns bake, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and homogenous.
Serve your rolls with icing on the side or drizzle it on top once buns are cool. Enjoy!

Notes

Dont skip the icing: The rolls are great served with icing to dip or drizzled on top like regular cinnamon rolls.
Use soft butter: Makes spreading easier if very soft.
Slice evenly: Be careful when slicing your rolls in half to keep the two halves as even as possible.
Don’t overbake: Prevents dryness and bake until tops are golden and crisp.
Use sweet rolls: Adds extra flavor.
Spread filling evenly: Ensures every bite is flavorful.
Serve warm: Most enjoyment.
Adjust icing thickness: Add milk gradually, 1 tablespoon at a time, until reach desired consistency.
