Homemade Fluffy Dinner Rolls

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, instant yeast, and honey. Whisk in the egg until smooth. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix in the flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.

Transfer to a clean surface and knead for 3-5 minutes, or until a nice smooth dough forms. If your dough is too sticky and wet, sprinkle in more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is workable. Transfer the dough ball back to the bowl, cover with a towel, and place somewhere warm for 1-2 hours, or until the dough has fully doubled in size.

Transfer the dough to a clean surface. Cut it evenly into 12 pieces. Flatten each piece of dough and pinch the edges together to form a ball. Roll them until they’re smooth, and then arrange in a single layer in a buttered 9 x 9–inch baking dish. Cover the baking dish with a clean dish towel and place it on top of the oven stovetop while the oven preheats to 350°F.

Brush the rolls with egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

To make the cinnamon maple butter: whisk the ingredients together until combined and fluffy.
