 First measure ingredients to make these cinnamon rolls.

   

 Place 3/4 cup milk into a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbles appear

   

 Add 1/4 cup of butter.

   

Stir until it is melted. Set aside mixture to cool until LUKEWARM

   

 Place 2 1/4 cups flour into a large mixing bowl.

   

 Add 1/4 cup of sugar.

   

 Followed by 1/2 teaspoon salt.

   

 And 1 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast.

   

 Stir the dry ingredients well.

   

 Then add 1/4 cup of water.

   

Followed by 1 egg.

   

 And the LUKEWARM milk mixture.

   

 Stir the mixture well.

   

 Then stir in another 1/2 cup of flour.

   

 Stir until mixture is well combined.

   

Then add in an additional 1/2 cup of flour.

   

 Stir until the dough begins to pull together into a ball.

   

 Then turn it out onto a lightly floured board.

   

Knead until the dough is smooth, about 5 minutes.

   

 Then place into a mixing bowl.

   

 Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

   

While the dough is resting, lightly greased 12 muffin cups.

   

Then make the filling.  Place 1 cup of brown sugar in a small bowl.

   

  Add 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.

   

 And 1/2 cup of softened butter.

   

 Beat the sugar cinnamon mixture until it’s combined. Set aside for later use.

   

 Turn the rested dough onto a lightly floured board.

   

 Roll the dough into a 9 x 12 inch rectangle.

   

And then place the sugar cinnamon mixture on top of the rectangle.

   

 Spread it to within an inch from the edges.

   

Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of toasted chopped walnuts.

   

Then starting at the long end, roll up dough like a jellyroll. Pinch the seam to seal it.

   

With a sharp knife, cut the dough crosswise into 12 equal pieces.

   

 Place the cinnamon rolls, cut side up into prepared muffin cups.

   

Cover the dough with a damp towel.

   

 Let them rise until double in size, about 30 minutes.

   

While the dough is rising, preheat oven to 190 degree C (375 degree F).

   

 Place the rolls in the oven. Remember to put a baking sheet underneath the muffin pan to catch any drips.

   

 Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until they are nicely brown.

   

 Remove the muffin pan from oven to cool about 5 minutes on wire rack.

   

 Then remove the rolls from the muffin cups to cool on a cooling rack.

   

  And you’re done! Serve these freshly baked walnut cinnamon rolls warm.
