Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s what you’ll you-
- ½ cup self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1.5 tablespoon softened butter
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- Pinch of salt
For glaze-
- ¼ cup confectioners sugar

Self-rising flour is not all-purpose flour. If you don’t have self-rising flour make your own with this ratio- 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt.
Add ½ to 1 teaspoon more milk if needed while making dough. If dough is too crumbly add milk to form soft dough, if dough turns out too sticky and wet add 1 to 2 teaspoon extra self-rising flour to adjust the consistency of dough. Your dough should be soft.
Cinnamon roll in a mug is quick sweet treat to make for sudden cravings. Don’t expect the results to be same as normal cinnamon rolls. Microwave mug cinnamon rolls are definitely different in terms of texture of the rolls.
