Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

- Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add sugar, butter, salt, and egg. Mix well. Gradually add flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

- Frost the rolls while they are warm and serve.
Notes
Make sure the milk is warm but not hot to activate the yeast without killing it. You can also add nuts or raisins for extra flavor.
