November 10, 2016

Is there anything more comforting than cinnamon buns and a fresh cup of coffee in the morning?  How about Pumpkin Cinnamon Knots? Similar to cinnamon buns, but with a pumpkin twist.   These soft pillowy clouds, aren’t just tasty pumpkin delights, they look like little pumpkins too!  Which is precisely why I had to make them.

Best fresh out of the oven, topped with a little butter and paired with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.  The recipe is a bit involved, but it is so worth it!  Don’t be intimidated by the cutting and twisting, it’s actually a lot of fun and easy to do!  Enjoy!

Estonian Kringle

Estonian Kringle

It’s another gloomy Sunday here in Calgary and despite this being the first weekend of the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, the Calgary Stampede, I’m feeling like cozying up and staying inside with a comforting treat, like this Estonian Kringle.

I first discovered the Estonian Kringle on Instagram, when fellow designer, blogger and avid baker, LemonTree Interiors shared her Kringle – it was intricately beautiful and made of cinnamon – I just had to give it ago.

A Kringle is a traditional sweetbread made with cardamom, saffron, raisins or cinnamon and twisted into the shape of a pretzel. It’s considered mandatory in Estonia for birthdays, weddings, and other special occasions – a Canadian in the Wimbledon Final and the Euro 2016 Final all in one day was special enough for me!

As Miranda the creator of this recipe says, I’ve never met a cinnamon bun I didn’t like – except maybe one with pecans (I’m allergic).

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you’ll know that Sunday’s for me are best spent baking, and cinnamon buns are one of my favorites.  Is there anything more comforting and exciting than the smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns?  I didn’t think so!  Miranda’s recipe takes the humble cinnamon bun and elevates it to another level.  While I thought I might miss the frosting, usually my favorite part of the bun, trust me you won’t.  These are delicious just as they are.  Ooey, gooey, amazing.
