I’ve got this gift that I want to share with you all; any time a National Food Holiday is happening, I make said food a couple of days before without even knowing. I guess you could say food & I are just really in sync.

In the spirit of National Sticky Bun Day, I wanted to share my secret to making perfect cinnamon buns every. single. time. I made these this past weekend and the only warning I will give you, is try to eat just one.

What you’ll need? 

• Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
• Honey
• Sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups powdered sugar, plus more as needed

What to do? 

• Pre-heat oven to 350 and grease an 8-inch cake pan
• Arrange cinnamon buns in a circle in the pan and throw that canned icing away – you won’t need it!
• Drizzle honey over top of the cinnamon buns and then sprinkle sugar on top
• Top each cinnamon bun with a tab of cold butter
• Bake for 13-17 min or until golden brown

While those are baking… 

• In large bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed 2 to 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until smooth and creamy.
• Stir in vanilla, then stir in powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar as needed until frosting is a thick spreadable consistency.
• When you take the cinnamon buns out of the oven and they’re still hot, spread your cream cheese frosting over top and let them sit for 10-15 minutes until the gooeyness sets in

ENJOY!
