Remember I made apple butter some time ago?
The only person who enjoyed this spread was Lydia and I, the rest all went uuurrghhhh because of the cinnamon.
I still had some apple butter left and when I saw this recipe, I just gave it a go since some Aussie relatives will be here. They are used to eating cinnamony stuff since they have been there for decades. It'll be a good chance to make these since the others didn't like this spread. The relatives enjoyed the buns and I'm happy!
I included the filling recipe from the book, just incase you need it. In my case, I used apple butter.

Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteThe first instruction required to combine milk and egg. But I didn't see any egg mentioned in the ingredient except for glazing part..
Hi Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI love cinnamon. I add cinnamon powder into my coffee. when I have pancakes, instead of syrup I will add cinnamon powder to honey and dip my pancake into this yummy combination. mmmm~
Wendy, I love the smell of cinnamon and I am sure I will love your buns!
ReplyDeletePauline,
ReplyDeletethanks for pointing it out.

I'm confused with the turning and twisting of the dough... I'm really not a baker! Can I just eat? :D
