Step 1

In a liquid measuring cup combine the yeast, 1 Tbsp sugar, and warm water and let sit until bubbly, about 7 minutes. Add the milk and the rest of the sugar and stir.

Step 2

Pour the mixture into a stand-mixer and add the butter and egg, mixing to combine. Add the flour and salt and combine. Once a dough has formed switch over to the dough hook and knead until the dough is smooth, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from the bowl and shape into a round ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a well floured surface and roll out to 3/4-inch thick. Cut out squares of dough about 3-inches and place on a cookie sheet, about 1-2 inches apart. Let rise until doubled, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350ºF.

Step 5

Bake the rolls until deep brown, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter.

Step 6

Prepare the cinnamon butter by creaming together the butter, cinnamon, and honey until fluffy. Serve with warm rolls.
