sugar is incorporated. Add remaining powdered sugar
and stir on speed 1 until incorporated. Mix on speed 8
for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
Spread about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of Cream Cheese
Frosting on each warm Cinnamon Swirl Bun. Serve.
Note: If you wish to have warm, fresh
Cinnamon Swirl Buns in the morning,
dough may be mixed, allowed to have
its first rise, and shaped the night before.
If doing the night before, place covered
pans in the refrigerator to rise. Remove
from refrigerator and let stand at room
temperature one hour before baking.
If you wish to freeze Cinnamon
Swirl Buns after baking, do not frost.
Re-warm in a conventional oven
(microwaving is not recommended) and
frost before serving.
