Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the active sourdough starter and warm milk. Add sugar and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter until golden brown and nutty-smelling. Allow to cool slightly before adding.
Mix in flour, yeast, egg, and salt into the butter mixture until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled.
Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle (½ inch thick), spread melted brown butter on top, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mix, then roll tightly from one side.
Cut into mini sections (about 1 inch thick) and place in greased muffin tins.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before drizzling with icing made from powdered sugar and milk.
