Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter, and sprinkle the cinnamon filling evenly over the surface.

- Place each piece in a greased muffin tin, cut side up, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Mix powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze and drizzle over warm cruffins before serving.
Notes
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate it after the first rise. Let it come to room temperature before rolling out.
