Sugar Coated Cinnamon Rolls

Sugar Coated Cinnamon Rolls






This delicious snack/dessert is a an absolute delight to eat. I have made this a couple of times but this time i tried to replicate Ria's cinnamon roll recipe. Turned out delicious - especially the sugar frosting. The only addition i made to the dough is 2tsp of honey and 2tsp of milk powder (for additional flavour & richness).

Also this is the first time i tried bread dough with egg in it. I believe it made the dough more soft. For pure veg (like my husbands colleague - who couldnt taste this) the veg version of the dough is given below.

Another good reference is Perfect Cinnamon Buns @ veganyumyum site
