Ingredient Notes
- Kitchen Staples – Flour, Corn Starch, Sugar, Salt, Cinnamon, Milk
- Whole Milk – Warm, but not over 120° or you could kill the yeast.
- Instant Yeast – 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons); I used Red Star Platinum Yeast
- Eggs – Large; have at room temperature for easier incorporation.
- Butter – At room temperature, cut into 12 pieces. Salted butter is OK.
- Brown Sugar – When measuring brown sugar, always pack it into the measuring cup.
- Powdered Sugar – Sift for a smooth icing.
- Vanilla Extract – Always use real vanilla extract, not artificially flavored. I like the Nielsen-Massey brand.
