Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/2 cup ice water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Gradually add the ice water, a few tablespoons at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Spread the melted butter evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the melted butter.
6. Starting from the long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Slice the log into 1-inch thick rolls.
7. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
8. In the meantime, prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
9. Once the cinnamon rolls are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over them while they are still warm.
10. Serve the pie crust cinnamon rolls warm and enjoy!
