This recipe is a true treat from my dear friend Darlene, who known across the globe as a mother, wife, teacher, singer, songwriter and worship leader extraordinaire. Darlene is all of these things and in addition, is an absolute whiz in the kitchen. Her home is always filled with the sweet aroma of family, friends and food.
Something is always cooking, whether it be a warm cup of coffee (at the ready) when you arrive or these delectable cinnamon buns... a recipe that was passed down from friend, Wendy Treat (thanks Wendy!).
These buns definitely fall into the category of 'sometimes foods'. They are so good you will want to keep them in the 'sometimes' category because they truly are a treat and if you can master them (I’m trying!) your family and friends will have a special memory of moments spent with you in your home. Make sure you invite someone over, food always tastes better when it's shared. Also, these are a great 'after school' treat for the kids. Why not let your kids invite their friends around for an afternoon cinnamon treat.Now go and enjoy!

Put this in a bowl that allows for the dough to rise DOUBLE. Pre-heat your oven to 200-250 degrees Celsius, then turn off. Place a wet towel over the dough and let it rise for 45 - 60 mins.
