- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

- Roll tightly from one edge and slice into equal pieces (about 1-2 inches thick).
- Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover again, and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with vanilla extract and enough milk to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over warm rolls.
