Cinnamon Bun Icing
By: HeatherFeather
Feb 9, 2002
This is just like the sweet, gooey icing that comes inside tiny tins inside those tubes of refrigerated cinnamon bun doughs. By changing the extract flavor, you can make orange cinnamon buns, lemon cinnamon buns, whatever you like.
2 cups icing
Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-3 tablespoon half-and-half cream or cream, approximately
- 1 dash salt, optional
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or lemon extract or orange extract
Directions
1
Mix together sugar and enough cream to achieve a spreading consistency.2
Add extract flavor of your choice and salt (if desired- I omit).3
To use: Spread over warm biscuits or sweet bread still warm from the oven or drizzle over gingerbread cookies.4
This also makes a nice icing for quick breads like banana bread or zucchini bread.

Just like the one you get with Pilsbury Cinnamon Rolls, make sure to mix powdered sugar well to remove any clumps and keep grittiness down.

Nice icing. I drizzled this over Cinnamon Rolls Using Cakemix #93231 last night. Very sweet, easy to pour, this was just the right icing to use; I wasn't looking for a thick cream cheese icing at the time. I used 3 Tbs of milk instead of cream; worked just fine. I also liked the flavor better after adding the vanilla extract; did not use the salt.

Excellent and quick. I made Overnight Cinnamon Rolls for a work luncheon, and needed icing but didn't have any cream cheese. I made this icing and it was great. The cinnamon roll pan came home empty. (the only change I made was I used 2% milk instead of cream - it worked great)
