Cinnamon buns

A recipe for Swedish cinnamon buns from Magnus Nilsson's "The Nordic Baking Book". These are sticky cinnamon buns, plain and simple. Enjoy them with a big glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee.
Cinnamon buns

In Sweden, cinnamon buns are often sprinkled with some pearl sugar before being baked, and in Norway and Denmark they are often decorated with icing – white or chocolate – after they have cooled down. I think it is really important to bake these buns in little individual paper cases, otherwise the filling has a tendency to leak out onto the baking sheet and burn, instead of soaking into the bun itself.
