  1. These came out beautiful - fluffy, and not huge. I got 18 buns, made in two 9-inch square pans. Was a little surprised to see that cinnamon was not mentioned in the ingredients, although it is in the directions. I just added what I thought tasted good - maybe 2 tablespoons or so. Thank you for posting this recipe. I feel a little sorry for it because the name hides it from people wanting cinnamon buns. But it is good.
