In a large bowl add 1 cup of flour, yeast, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Heat the milk and 1/4 cup butter in the microwave to 120 to 130 degrees F. Add the honey and add to the flour mixture.
Add the egg and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the rest of the flour. Knead the dough until smooth. Let rest for about an hour or until double in size.
When the dough has rested and is double in size divide into two equal parts. Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter. Mix the 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with the granulated sugar and brown sugar for the filling.
Roll the dough into 12 by 10-inch rectangles. Spread with half of the melted butter then sprinkle half of the sugar and cinnamon mixture over top of the butter.
Roll the dough the tightly. Cut into 12 equal parts. Place in a well greased muffin tins. Repeat with second half of dough.
