Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add the warm milk, softened butter, and egg, then mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot until puffy.
Filling Preparation

  2. Roll the dough into a rectangle, brush lightly with softened butter, and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top.
Baking
  1. Cut the dough into small pieces and place them close together in a prepared baking dish.
  2. Bake until the tops are lightly golden and the centers are cooked through.
Glazing
  1. Whisk the powdered sugar, milk or cream, and alcohol-free vanilla until smooth.
  2. Drizzle it over the warm bites so it melts into every nook and cranny.

Notes

For extra flavor and crunch, consider adding nuts or dried fruit. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze for one month.
