Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  • Pour in the warm milk and melted butter. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches.
  • Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  • Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge.
  • Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces.
  • Place the cruffin pieces into greased muffin tins.
  • Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While the cruffins are baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze.
  • Once baked, remove cruffins from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling with glaze.
