Cinnamon rolls are commonly found throughout North America, but originated in the Scandinavian countries. Sweden has the kanelbulle, or cinnamon bun, which was probably the precursor to the cinnamon roll.

It is a yeast dough pastry, rolled with a layer of sweet cinnamon and brown sugar sauce, and topped with a cream cheese icing.

Perfect with a morning coffee!
