Method

  1. Mix milk with sugar and yeast, then add the room‑temperature egg.

  2. Combine flour and salt, add the yeast mixture and knead for 1‑2 minutes.

  3. Incorporate the soft butter and knead an additional 8‑10 minutes.

  4. Shape the dough into a ball, cover, and let rise for 1‑1.5 hours until doubled.

  5. For the filling, mix soft butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and cornstarch.

  6. Roll the dough into a rectangle, spread the filling, roll up, and cut into pieces with a thread.

  7. Place the rolls in a pan, cover, and let rise another 20‑30 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Rolls have puffed up. They should be touching each other.

  8. Pour cream over the rolls and bake at 375°F (upper/lower heat) for 20‑25 minutes.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Buns are golden brown. Cream helps keep them soft.

  9. For the frosting, beat butter, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar for 1‑2 minutes.

  10. Add the cold cream cheese and fold in briefly.

  11. Let the buns cool slightly, then spread the frosting over the still‑warm rolls.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Frosting is spreadable. Spread while buns are still warm for a glossy finish.
