Instructions
Melt 4 tablespoons butter and let cool. In a medium bowl, combine butter, milk, and eggs.
Whisk in 1/2 cup sugar. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine flour, yeast, and salt.
Add milk mixture and mix to combine. Turn speed to medium and mix until dough is elastic and smooth to the touch, about 5 minutes. Take dough from mixer, shape into a ball, and place in a buttered bowl. Cover with a towel and let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Melt remaining butter and set aside. In small bowl, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Divide dough in two. On a well-floured surface, roll first ball out into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.
Brush circle with butter and sprinkle with 1/2 cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Cut circle into 6 equal pieces.
Roll each wedge, starting with the narrow end, until crescent forms.
Place each crescent on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Cover baking sheets with a kitchen towel and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Place oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
Bake rolls until golden, about 25 minutes.
