I haven’t gone so far as to time it, but I do think these cinnamon buns can be whipped up in the time it would take you to get your sleepy self along to a bakery to pick up a few for brunch.

Unlike most cinnamon buns, these are not made with a yeasted bread base, so there's no waiting around while the dough rises, or struggling to shape a dough that can sometimes be unruly; just a quick mix and a pat out of a very cooperative dough and you’re on your way to heaven.
