In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar in warm water. Let
stand 5 minutes.
Add eggs, 1/2 cup of the butter, melted, 2 cups of the flour, the salt and the
remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a
soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6
to 8 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let
rise in warm place for1 1/2 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch dough down; divide in half. Preheat oven to 375°F.
On floured surface, roll each portion into a 15 x 8-inch rectangle. Spread with
remaining 1/4 cup butter, softened. Roll up, starting with long side. Using
sharp knife, cut into 1-inch slices. Place cut side up in greased muffin cups.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake in preheated oven 8 to
10 minutes or until golden brown.
