Step-by-Step Instructions
Whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Gently warm milk and butter in a saucepan until melted and warm, then add activated yeast and let sit.
Combine the frothy milk mixture with the dry ingredients and add beaten eggs to form a dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, then let it rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick on a floured surface.
Spread softened butter on the rolled-out dough and sprinkle a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon over it.
Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice it into 12 equal pieces.
Place the sliced rolls in a greased baking dish and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F and bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, adding beet juice for color.
Drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls before serving.
