Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. Cut the butter into small cubes and mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the sourdough discard, milk, and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms. Add flour if too sticky.
  4. Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough 3–4 times until smooth.
  5. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x8 inches in size.
  6. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
  7. Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into 8 equal pieces.
  8. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the rolls for 15–25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. While baking, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze until smooth.
  10. Once baked, drizzle the glaze generously over the warm rolls and serve.
