Mini Maple Cinnamon Rolls

These are a great size for kids or for a little snack!

2/3 c. warm milk
1/3 c. maple syrup
1/3 c. butter, softened
1 egg
3/4 tsp. salt
3 c. bread flour
1 1/4 Tbsp. yeast

Filling:
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
2 T. flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
6 T. butter

Maple Icing:
1 c. powdered sugar
3 T. melted butter
3 T. maple syrup
1 - 2 tsp. milk

Combine yeast, milk, and syrup and butter. Let sit 2-3 min. Add egg, salt and flour. Mix in mixer for at least 10 minutes. Check dough after 5 minutes and add water or flour if needed. Let raise until double, twice.

Roll into two rectangles. In small bowl combine brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon, and cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half over each rectangle. Roll up starting from a long side. Pinch seam to seal.
Cut each roll into 12 slices. Place cut side down in greased 13x9 pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
Frost with maple icing while rolls are still hot.
