Cinnamon Roll

Day 3 of the baking week. Here comes the Cinnamon Roll.

This sweet bun is popular in the Scandinavian countries. Specially in Sweden, 4 October is the day called "Kanelbullens dag (meaning "cinnamon roll day)". That must be the day I can eat those sweet buns like crazy...hummm, one of my sweet dreams....(See http://www.kanelbullensdag.se/).

With these rolls, I've spiced up the recipe a bit, and add peanuts butter and maple syrup.
