Ingredients  

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet active quick rise yeast
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • maraschino cherry
  • powdered sugar

Instructions 

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add the milk and butter. Stir until melted, then remove from heat.
  • n a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast and the milk mixture. Stir to combine, then add the egg and mix until well incorporated.
  • Using the dough hook attachment on your mixer, knead while slowly adding in 1 cup of flour until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the edges of the bowl. Alternatively, you can knead by hand.
  • Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, then preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle. Spread melted butter over the surface, then combine the cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle the mixture evenly on top.
  • Cut the dough into 10 strips and shape each strip into a heart. Transfer the cinnamon rolls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the rolls with a damp towel and let them rise for 25 minutes.
  • Place a cherry in each cinnamon roll. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until slightly golden. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

    I put butter on a baking stone, sprinkled with chopped walnuts and brown sugar, then baked them. I also sprinkled nuts and brown sugar on top.

      Sounds yum!

  5. Jess says:

    How would you do these the night before? Let rise then refrigerate? Then put in oven in morning?

  6. Kim says:

    I want to try this.
    Can I use Margarine instead of butter?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      I am not sure as I didn’t test it with margarine.

    There’s got to be a way to do this using Pillsbury’s refrigerated rolls if you spice the dough up with some cinnamon and nutmeg, use some mariachino cherries and powdered sugar. Dough would have to be cold and then cut and shaped nicely but I think it’s doable. I’m going to try just in time for St.V’s Day. Anybody wanna be my Valentine?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      That’s a great idea. Yeah I am sure Pillsbury works.

      1. Janet says:

        I think the trick will to unroll them from the package and then use a rolling pin to roll very thin–you may need some additional cinnamon sugar mix to define the layers a little better–sounds like the perfect way to get a small batch, or any batch that is faster than mixing yeast dough and getting it to raise.

        Has anyone thought of supermarket deli fresh pizza dough? It’s inexpensive, easy to find, and faster than starting from scratch.

    Let’s be honest – these look simply adorable! A perfect treat for the Valentine’s Day!

      I know, I wish someone would make these heart-shaped cinnamon rolls for me! :)
