How to Make Sweet Butter Sugar Rolls
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing a baking dish or lining it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a thin rectangle.
Cut the dough into small strips and roll each strip into a small spiral or roll shape.
Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the rolls become lightly golden.
While still warm, brush the rolls with melted butter and roll them in granulated sugar until fully coated.
