Today is National Cinnamon Bun Day!
October 4th is the day where we all appreciate the Scandinavian pastry of a warm bun swirled together with a yeasty dough in sugar & cinnamon and can be served with coffee or tea to comfort you on a chilly day.
The bun can also be healthy, since it's loaded with antioxidants, protecting cells from heart disease and cancer, while reducing inflammation, and fighting infections. Didn't know the Cinnamon Bun can do that did ya. Throughout the years many a baker has modified the recipe to add all kinds of other toppings and fillers, but at its heart the basic way of making it is still tried and true, so head to your favorite bakery, or bake some at home, and enjoy one of the greatest of all pastries, the cinnamon bun!
