Method
 

Preparation
  1. Warm the whole milk to about 110°F (43°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine warmed milk, yeast, and granulated sugar; let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add softened butter, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture; mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it; let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
Baking
  1. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and spread the slightly softened salted butter over it.
  2. Combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and ground cinnamon; sprinkle this mixture over the buttered dough.
  3. Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log; cut into 12 equal pieces.
  4. Place each piece into a greased muffin tin; let them rise for another hour.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Bake the cruffins in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. If using, fill the cruffins with optional fillings after they have cooled slightly.
