1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water (105-115 degrees)
4 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 c. butter, softened
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 c. lukewarm water, scalded, then cooled
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon or more

Cover, let rise in warm place (85 degrees) for 2 hours. (Dough will not double.)
