PERFECT CINNAMON BUNS! Filed under ( Breakfast and Brunch, Cakes and Bakes )

The first time I had these was in Manali available at small German bakeries that dot old Manali,and I have been addicted ever since!Cinnamon Rolls or Buns comprises a sweet yeasted dough with a filling of sweet buttery cinnamon, they are absolutely delicious!I made these at home for the first time and everyone was delighted, the aroma that filled the kitchen while they were baking was lovely.

The recipe can be found here, and though the original recipe is Vegan, I did not see any reason why I could not tweak it a bit, though either ways you can make them according to your preference,.
