Instructions
- Combine warm milk and yeast in a large bowl; let sit 2 minutes until slightly foamy.

- Dip each dough ball in melted butter, then roll in the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture until coated.
- Arrange the dough balls in a well greased 10 inch oven safe skillet or deep baking dish.
- Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the syrup and pour evenly over the dough balls. Let rise 20 minutes.
- Pour the heavy cream evenly over the dough balls.
- Bake at 350°F for 27 to 30 minutes until baked through and bubbling.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the warm bites before serving.
