A cinnamon bun is a sweet pastry made from a rolled dough filled with a mixture of cinnamon, sugar, and often butter. The dough is typically enriched with ingredients like milk and eggs, giving it a soft and fluffy texture. After baking, the buns are often topped with a glaze or icing, enhancing their sweetness. Cinnamon buns are popular in many cultures and are commonly enjoyed as a breakfast item or dessert. They can be found in bakeries and cafes, and recipes vary widely, with some incorporating nuts or raisins. The dish is especially associated with Swedish and American cuisine.
