Method
- In a small bowl, warm the milk to about 110°F. Stir in 1 tsp of the granulated sugar and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes or in a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a large rectangle (approx. 12x18 inches). Brush with the melted butter for the filling. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough up tightly into a log and cut it into 12 equal rolls. Place them in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cover the pan and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. (Alternatively, fry in 350°F oil for 1-2 minutes per side).
- While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, melt the butter, powdered sugar, and honey over medium-low heat. Whisk until smooth, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Pour the warm glaze over the warm buns. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
For the best results, make sure your yeast is fresh and properly activated before you begin.
The glaze can be made ahead and gently reheated before pouring over the warm buns.
These buns are best served warm, on the day they are made.
