### Instructions
#### 1. **Prepare the Dough**
Start by preheating your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. In a large bowl, whisk together **flour**, **sugar**, **baking powder**, and **salt**. Then, cut in the **butter** until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Once you’ve mixed that, whisk together the **milk**, **egg**, and **vanilla extract** in a separate bowl, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
#### 2. **Roll Out the Dough**
Transfer your dough onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into a rectangular shape about **1/4 inch thick**. If you’re making cinnamon rolls or another filling, spread the **melted butter** over the dough, then sprinkle the **brown sugar** and **cinnamon** evenly across the top.
#### 3. **Shape and Slice**
Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one edge. Once it’s rolled up, cut the dough into **1-inch thick slices**. Arrange the slices on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. If you like, you can space them closely together for soft, pull-apart goodness or place them a bit farther apart for crispier edges.
#### 4. **Bake**
Place the rolls or slices in the oven to bake for **15-20 minutes**, or until the tops are golden brown and the treats feel firm to the touch. The sweet aroma will start to fill the kitchen, and it’s going to be tough to resist grabbing one while they’re still hot!
#### 5. **Make the Glaze**
While the treats bake, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the **powdered sugar**, **milk**, and **vanilla extract**. Stir until smooth and glossy, and set aside.
#### 6. **Glaze the Treats**
Once the baked treats are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top. You can add as much or as little as you like, depending on your sweetness preference. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, you can even double the glaze for a gooey, sugary finish!
#### 7. **Serve and Enjoy**
