Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of flour with the salt. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms, adding extra flour as needed to achieve a soft, slightly sticky dough.
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Rolls: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares or rounds. Place them on a greased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Cover and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Brush with melted butter while warm.
Make the Honey Cinnamon Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon until smooth.
Serve: Serve the rolls warm with a dollop of honey cinnamon butter. Enjoy!

Rising Time: Make sure the dough doubles in size during each rise for fluffy rolls. Warmer kitchens help speed up this process.
Roll Shapes: Use a cookie cutter for perfectly round rolls, or stick with squares for easy prep.
Storing Rolls: Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze them for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven at 300°F until warmed through.
