This old family recipe is the best of the best. Plus you can make the dough up ahead of time, keeping refrigerated until needed. That lets you have delicious old-fashioned yeast rolls or cinnamon rolls on the table in half the time. (I have modified the directions to be more clear about how much flour to use.)
