Sieve the flour over a scale, and put some salt in it.

Heat the milk until this is 37 degrees celsius. Dissolve the yeast in conjunction with the butter in a small little lukewarm milk.

Create a hollow in the flour and add the yeast mix, and the egg. Pour, little by little, the rest of the lukewarm milk in the flour and combine. Knead it to a good smooth dough.

Let the dough rise to approximately 1 hour with a damp cloth over the top, in a warm place. In the meantime, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar on your bench/work top. Roll the dough in to pieces of 16 inches length.

Roll these pieces through the sugar/cinnamon and form each roll into a shell (like a snails).

Put the buns on a buttered cookie sheet, pour over them the remaining sugar and cinnamon and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 440 degrees / 250C for about 45 minutes. Allow them to cool but not dry out, and serve.
