• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and honey.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 8

Brush the rolled out dough with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 9

Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge, then cut into 12 equal slices.

Step 10

Place the slices in a greased baking dish, cover with a cloth, and let rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Bake the risen buns in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

While the buns are baking, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water until smooth.

Step 14

Once the buns are baked, let them cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the top.

Step 15

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade honey buns!
