- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Stir in granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (about 12×18 inches).
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the Cini Minis filling.
- Spread softened butter evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over the buttered dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long edge.
- Cut the roll into 12 equal pieces. These are your Cini Minis.
- Place the Cini Minis in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the Cini Minis are baking, prepare the glaze. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm Copycat Burger King Cini Minis.
- Serve your homemade Burger King Cini warm.
Notes
- Ensure your milk is warm but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
- For an extra gooey texture, slightly underbake the Cini Minis.
- Adjust the amount of glaze to your preference for your Burger King Cini.
