Old Fashioned Cinnamon Toast… In Sugar Buns
When I was a kid, cinnamon toast was my very favorite breakfast. I would often wake up on weekend mornings to the tantalizing aroma of cinnamon sugar and butter wafting from the kitchen. Mom would slather large sheet pans of bread with cinnamon butter. Then pop them in the oven to feed all five kids, and any stragglers we had brought home for the weekend. It’s amazing how such a simple breakfast item can leave a warm memorable mark on my heart. A few weeks ago we were out at the lake with friends. We had used up most of our groceries for the weekend so I pulled whatever I could find out of the fridge and pantry to make one last breakfast before we headed home. We had a package of bakery yeast rolls leftover, along with some butter, sugar, and cinnamon. I thought of mom and quickly melted the butter, then whisked in brown sugar and cinnamon. Then I proceeded to dunk each roll in the cinnamon butter mixture, coating it on all sides. After a few minutes in the oven, the sticky-sweet buns were hot, slightly crusty, and dripping with liquid gold.
Cinnamon Sugar Buns For The Win!
Our friends could not get over how delicious they found these impromptu 4-Ingredient Cinnamon Toast Buns. We all decided we liked Cinnamon Sugar Buns even better than classic cinnamon toast, because they are thoroughly coated with sweet cinnamon butter on six sides (instead of just two) and the interior is soft and pillowy. One package of rolls proved not to be enough! Cinnamon Toast Buns are really just that… Cinnamon toast, made with four simple ingredients, including soft yeasty buns. By the way, if you are confused about the difference between rolls and buns, don’t be. Really, there is no difference. Buns just sound fancier in my opinion. These Sugar Buns are a must-make this weekend. Surprise your family with a pan of hot cinnamon bliss. This may be the beginning of a new family tradition for you!
