Cinnamon Buns

I love cinnamon buns.

But I don't like the mass produced ones sold in the shops.

They smell.

So I made my own.

Cinnamon buns are scrumptious with tea.




They are easy to make too.

First make a dough in a bread machine.

Roll it out and brush it with melted butter.






Next, sprinkle the dough with raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon.

Leave a border along one edge of the dough.





Then, roll the dough up like a Swiss roll.

Make sure you start from a covered edge and roll towards the uncovered border.




Press the edges together to seal the roll before slicing it.





Place the slices in a lightly oiled tin and cover it with cling wrap.

Put the tin in a warm place to allow the dough to rise.




After about 40 minutes, it will look like this.




Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C and bake the buns for about 20 minutes.



Melt some sugar in a bit of water to make a thick syrup.

Brush the buns with the syrup once they are out of the oven.




Let the buns cool on a wire rack.

Eat them while they are warm.




The buns can be kept in the fridge for a week.

Warm them in the microwave oven in the morning for a yummy breakfast.

But they are so delicious they might all be eaten the moment they are done.
