- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Loosely cover with foil if the top begins to brown too quickly.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate.
- Drizzle with the icing included with the cinnamon rolls. Serve warm.
Notes
- Room-temperature butter melts more evenly when you're making the brown sugar mixture. I usually set mine out about 30 minutes before I start baking.
- Have your serving plate ready before you flip. It happens fast, and you don't want to be scrambling to find a plate at the last second!
- Warm the icing packet in a bowl of hot water for a minute or two before drizzling. It makes it so much easier to pour and gives you a nicer, more even drizzle.
- This is best served fresh and warm, straight from the pan. If you have leftovers, a quick 15-20 seconds in the microwave brings it right back to life.
