1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter a 13x9-inch baking dish.
2 For dough, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until a stiff dough forms.
3 Lightly flour a work surface, and roll dough out into a 15x13-inch rectangle.
4 For filling, stir together sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Spread softened butter evenly over rolled dough, and sprinkle with cinnamon mixture.
5 Starting with a short end, tightly roll dough into a 13-inch-long log. Trim ends slightly, and cut log crosswise into 12 (1-inch) rounds using a serrated knife.
6 Place rounds, cut sides up, in a single layer, spaced about 1/2 inch apart in the prepared baking dish; set aside.
7 For sauce, stir together milk, sugar, butter, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring often, until milk begins to foam and sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour mixture evenly over dough rounds. They will be nearly submerged.
8 Bake in the preheated oven until rolls are firm and golden brown on top, about 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes; serve warm. Recipe developed by Giovanna Vasquez
