½ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk or cream
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice the entire pack of Hawaiian rolls horizontally (like a sandwich) without separating them.
- Mix melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a bowl.
- Spread the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture generously over the bottom half of the rolls.
- Replace the top half, then drizzle any remaining mixture over the top.
- Bake in a greased baking dish for 10–12 minutes, or until warm and gooey.
- While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Best served warm — microwave leftovers for 10–15 seconds to revive the gooeyness.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.
- Try using flavored cream cheese in the glaze for a tangy twist.
