For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before spreading it on the dough. The nutty notes will enhance the overall taste. Don't overmix the dough when adding the water – it should just come together. Overmixing will result in a tough pastry. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of sugar in the milk mixture to 1/2 cup. These rolls are best served warm, straight from the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently.
