In the autumn I read this lovely book and really enjoyed it. I was delighted to receive it for Christmas, along with the instruction to "make the cinnamon buns, Mum" So here is my first attempt at them. They were very tasty..
They are a sensible size too. Not so big that you wonder if you should only eat half, but not so small that you want to eat two.
The buttery cinnamon dough is flavourful, the simple milk and sugar glaze is quite sufficient. You do not need extra frosting.
I'm glad you received the book for Christmas. Who is it who wants to take your Cinnamon buns in the family? They look good. I'm not the biggest cinnamon fan but I do think they look pretty and the snail description is very apt!
ReplyDeleteLiz, who gave me the book, requested them. Family Verdict on Saturday was very positive. Rosie ate the two smallest ones from the batch for breakfast on Sunday, dunking them into her hot chocolate
DeleteThey look delicious and I agree about the size! Catriona
ReplyDeleteWith a savoury filling [marmite? Cheese?] I think they would go well with your homemade soup!
DeleteThose look wonderful!
ReplyDelete😋 very tasty
DeleteThey look so scrumptious. I made some buns one year and they looked divine but they were so heavy and awful to eat. Carole R
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at how well these worked, as the dough didn't rise as much as id hoped in the proving stage
DeleteOh I love cinnamon buns! Memories of holidays in Canada!
ReplyDeleteThey are very popular in North America
DeleteIt's a really good book isn't it. I agree about the sizing of cinnamon buns, we got some over Christmas and somehow managed to eat three each!
ReplyDeleteonly THREE??
DeleteI love anything with cinnamon, these look delicious

They are
DeleteI bought the book (plus one for my daughter) after reading about it on your blog and think it’s a very helpful book. I haven’t tried the recipes yet but your results encourage me to try. I will only eat cinnamon buns that don’t have icing so maybe making my own would be a good route to take.
ReplyDeleteThese have the cinnamon taste which I prefer, without all that sugary frosting
DeleteThey look very tasty although I am not very keen on cinnamon, the savoury version of cheese and Marmite appeals. Our eldest son makes delicious Chelsea buns and great bread. I however am not a very good bread maker, although I enjoy kneading dough. The book looks enjoyable. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteI cheated and got the Kenwood chef to knead the dough for me!
DeleteThose cinnamon buns look delicious. I managed to restrain myself from adding them to my ocado order. They would have been poor imitations of yours!
ReplyDelete🙂
DeleteThey look delicious and I reckon your marmite and cheese version would be fab. I will have to see if I can reserve that book from the library.
ReplyDeleteWell done with the crafty projects - bath mats and fabric light cover, they all look fab xx
The book is well, worth a read, the story of a caring family, and fantastic bread!
DeleteThey look delicious, but as I'm trying to lose some poundage, won't be making them for a while - unfortunately. Xx
ReplyDelete🙁
DeleteThere is a town in rural Ontario that is famous for the cinnamon buns baked at the only small supermarket. They put a sign out when they are ready (but the smell of baking is enough of a lure), and they are sold 9 in a foil pan. They are almost too big to eat a whole one!
ReplyDeleteHow delicious
