Note From The Kraft Kitchens

We listened to your feedback and made a few changes to these easy-to-make cinnamon buns, which are a delicious twist on the sticky cinnamon buns that you can buy at your grocery store. In addition to increasing the flour to make the dough easier to handle, we also increased the cinnamon to make the flavour of these buns even more enjoyable.
