I ate these at a bakery in Perth ages ago, went home and made my own version, took this pic and then completely forgot about them. (It's old age and pastry dysmorphia they tell me!)
Anyway...fast forward to 2023, stopped at the same bakery and bought another one of these magical things. Came home...made them again and here you are. Just as delicious. Maybe easier as I have figured out a lot more science behind butter and dough...you're welcome. I do think these are awesome, heated up from the freezer, as you run out the door on a busy morning. Just enough of a bite to keep you going until the coffee arrives...Happy Cinnamony Morning Buns.
