Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  4. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Spread the softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar evenly.
  6. Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log shape.
  7. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pieces and place them in a greased baking dish that fits into your Instant Pot.
Cooking
  1. Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and place the baking dish on the trivet.
  2. Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to 'Pressure Cook' for 15 minutes, followed by a 10-minute natural release.
Icing and Serving
  1. While the rolls are cooking, mix the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water to create the icing.
  2. Once cooked, drizzle the icing over the warm cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
