Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine warm milk, white sugar, salt, and yeast together.
Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Whisk in egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla.
Add in 2 cups of flour and continue mixing and adding flour in ⅓ cup increments until dough is sticky but does not stick to your hands.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or 5 in a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Do this in a mixer with a dough hook if you have one.
Place dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, cover and let rise for 1-2 hours.
Roll dough into a 16×21 rectangle.
Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and butter in a bowl and spread over dough.
I only added pecans to half the rolls. You can add them to all the rolls or omit them completely.
Roll dough up lengthwise and cut into 12 even rolls.
If you weren’t able to roll super tight, no worries, when they rise it will fill out.
Place in a lightly greased 9×13 baking pan.
Cover and let rise for another hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake rolls for 20 minutes.
While baking the rolls, whip together cream cheese and butter until light.
This frosting is amazing! Do not be like me and eat the whole bowl!
Mix in vanilla, corn syrup, lemon juice, and salt.
Slowly add in powdered sugar and whip until light and fluffy.
Frost hot rolls with ⅓ of the frosting which will melt into all the layers, nooks, and crannies!
Refrost with desired amount when served warm
