Scrumptious cinnamon scrolls

There’s nothing better than freshly baked, warm cinnamon scrolls to enjoy on a relaxing afternoon with a cuppa and a book to read. Biting into a homemade scroll will make you wonder why you ever bought them from the store in the first place – or never tried them at all! These baked treats will fill your entire house with the most delicious, comforting smell that will instantly make everyone excited to feast on them.

Topped with a sweet sugar glaze, they’re best served fresh and warm, but you can also store them in an airtight container for up to three days if you want to enjoy them for a bit longer.
