Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add in the butter and the buttermilk & combine.
2. 2On a floured work surface, dump the mixture out and knead for about a minute. You should knead it just enough to where it comes together and you can form a ball shape.
3. 3Add this back into your bowl; cover with a damp rag or towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
4. 4Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and in a separate bowl, combine the sugars and cinnamon to make the filling.
5. 5After the resting period, place the dough ball on a floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin into a rectangular shape.
6. 6Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top and press into the dough with your hands.
7. 7Once you have your desired amount of filling, begin to roll the dough tightly into a cylinder shape.
8. 8After its rolled, take a non-serrated knife or bench scraper and cut the cinnamon rolls out. I like to cut mine 1 inch thick.
9. 9In a buttered dish, or cast iron skillet, place the cinnamon rolls and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
10. 10Remove and drizzle with icing, serve warm :)
11. 11In a stand mixer or a bowl with a hand mixer, combine the cream cheese and the melted butter.
12. 12When this is at a smooth consistency, add in the powdered sugar until it's as sweet as you like. Add in the vanilla bean paste or extract and mix again. thin out with milk as needed
13. 13NOTES:NOTES: if you use the measurements above, you'll have a good bit of the filling left over. You can either cut the measurements in half or save the filling for future use!
