Add milk, butter, sugar, eggs, and salt. Stir in enough flour to make a dough. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, flipping once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-1/2 hours. Punch dough down and divide into 3 portions, cover 2 with plastic wrap and shape one portion in 12 balls. Roll each ball into a 8 inch rope. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Dip rope into melted butter, then coat with cinnamon-sugar. Tie into a knot, tuck and pinch peat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
