Put the milk into the melted butter and warm it up a bit to activate the yeast.

Add sugar to the flour and salt, then mix them together.

Warm the milk and butter mixture until it's finger warm, then add it to the flour mixture.

Make space in the middle of the flour mixture and combine everything together.

Knead the dough with your hands until it's not too wet and has a good consistency, avoiding adding too much flour.

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours.

After the dough has risen, separate it into two parts and roll it out.

Spread smooth butter over the rolled-out dough, then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar to taste.

Fold the dough over itself and cut it into pieces to form the buns.

Let the buns rise under a towel for a little bit before baking them.

Egg wash the buns for a beautiful finish and sprinkle with pearl sugar.

Bake the buns in the oven at 450°F for 13-14 minutes.
