These cinnamon buns take some time to make, but most of that time is in the rising of the dough, and the end result is spectacular. You probably never thought you could make cinnamon buns from scratch at home, but this recipe takes you through it step by step, and they'll find an honorary spot on your breakfast table for any celebration or special occasion. The dough features pantry ingredients like flour, milk, sugar, and salt, while the filling is chockfull of brown sugar, corn syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest. Top it all off with some raisins or dried cherries or cranberries to bring it all together.
