Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 TBSP cinnamon
  • 2 TBSP butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 TBSP milk

Instructions
 

  • Warm the milk to about 100 degrees. Add to the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • Sprinkle on the yeast a 1 tsp sugar. Mix. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, flour, salt, and 1/3 cup butter to the stand mixer. Stir, and using the dough hook attachment, knead for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Spread the 2 TBSP butter all over the dough. Sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar, and gently press in.
  • Roll the dough tightly into a log, and pinch the seam together to seal it closed.
  • Cut into 1 1/2 inch rounds (about 12 rolls). Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and shape into an oval. Cover, and let rise an additional 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine the honey, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk.
  • Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze on top and serve!
