Cinnamon Bun recipe for Dexy5

And now for something completely unrelated to running. :) Hello, this post is for Dexy5 for the Cinnamon Bun recipe Mrs D used for our last few batches. They were outstanding and guaranteed to make you want to run more given their ridiculous calorie count - I can only imagine what it is.

She used the recipe posted here, but she does not include the raisins they call for - which are optional in any event:

Hope you enjoy them Dexy!

Mind if I hijack this recipe too Decker? They’re possibly my favourite thing ever! 😋 😋

Bake at will CC, I am merely the consumer of this delicious item and not the creator! 😁

They're going on our lockdown baking list! I even managed to get icing sugar on our last order so we're good to go 😍. Thanks Decker

Thank you so much Decker. I hope I can do as well as Mrs D has, otherwise I’ll have to ask for Red Cross parcels!

I will pretend I am skiing at Whistler, where we discovered these gorgeous buns. No raisins there either.

I think I’ll have to leave it until I’m running again though - all those calories. Good to see they can be frozen too.

No worries and I hope they turn out well for you Dexy. Yes probably a good call on leaving it until you are running again. This recipe also makes quite a large batch from what I remember. Around 30 buns in all.

Thanks for the warning - I may have to reduce the recipe - not enough room in the freezer .

How funny to open HU and find this. I'm making cinnamon rolls right now. After all, they're the go-to option here in Scandinavia - but without the raisins. Scandinavians don't ice them either. However, several years ago I started icing some of my rolls. It means you have to run a few extra kilometers, though.

The differences are interesting. I'm surprised not to see milk in the recipe. We don't have shortening over here, so the discussion tends to be butter vs. margarine. I always go for butter. It looks like I'll have to test the recipe next time and see how it compares!

One tip for the rest of you - if you put the rolls in the freezer pretty quickly after making them, they keep really well and taste good when you defrost them.

That is an odd coincidence! Yes Mrs D made one batch with and without the icing. I prefer the icing version but it is much richer as a result. An extra few km are needed as you say 😁.

Yes she used butter also. Shortening only ever goes into pie crusts from what I gather. Thanks for the freezer tip too! This recipe makes 30 buns so you may have to freeze some. We’ve just been giving the extras to friends and my folks.

No no no no!!!! Too much temptation! They look absolutely delicious and I really love cinnamon! I would love to make them but just looking at the picture is adding the pounds! I’ll see what Boris says about going out more tomorrow 🤞 and if he says we can go out to exercise more I might just have to make these 😋😋😋

There you go TailChaser. He didn’t say much - but he did say you can spend all day exercising !

haha - now there's no excuse! I brought one on my last run in a ziplock and they make a great mid run snack too. Just sayin... :)

You're right. I'm going to make them. I can hide some in the freezer along with the cheese scones I made last week 😋
