I am American and just converting your recipe now. This would make a wonderful Sunday treat. TY so much!

[@michellezimmermann9160]

They are delicious! 😋 I am British and I can also recommend Chelsea buns, ( if you like the sound of those too) which is a similar consistency of a Cinnamon swirl, but it has dried fruit and all spice in the recipe. Enjoy your treats! 😃

[@denisedavies5859]

Hi. I’m British and find American measurements in cups very difficult to use. I have several cups and they are so inconsistent. I know we all use what we’re used to, but do try to get into the habit of weighing ingredients in grams. It’s incredibly accurate. I’ve noticed more American cooks and bakers on KZbin are now using grams. I hope you enjoy them. I agree they’d make a good Sunday treat. 👍👍

[@Infiniti25]

@@denisedavies5859don’t forget the guidance of Mr Paul’s Pantry to weigh your liquids too

[@maxineb9598]

​@@denisedavies5859He has metric measurements in the description box above. I agree about posters ( and its not only Americans) using cup measurements. I have previously contacted one poster to get her weights after a failure with one of her recipes using cup measurements.

Well done! These are my favourite treat. In Australia, the traditional flavouring in cinnamon scrolls is, um, tastes like um ... Never could work it out ... until I suddenly realised CINNAMON OIL after using it for medicinal purposes. Use only 1 drop of cinnamon oil per cup of icing/powdered sugar. If you use too much, the icing will be too bitter. You can buy cinnamon oil at health food stores or some pharmacies.

[@BakingOnABudget]

I've never tried the cinnamon oil....I'll get some if I come across it. Thanks.
