Vietnamese Coffee Cinnamon Buns

Hey folks, I've got to share this amazing recipe with you. Who can resist the deliciousness of cinnamon buns? That's right, no one!

These gooey rolls of goodness are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or anytime, really. They are absolutely divine straight out of the oven with a quick drizzle. And guess what? If you reheat them the next day for just 30 seconds in the microwave, they'll taste freshly baked again. The Vietnamese coffee complements the buns perfectly, as the strong coffee flavor is balanced out by the condensed milk drizzle. If you've ever had Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, you'll know what I'm talking about. It's pure perfection! Trust me, this recipe is super easy, and I'm sure you'll be making it very often.

Want them for breakfast? just pop them in the fridge at stage 13 and let them proof overnight, then bake them in the morning. You can adjust the glaze to your liking – less or more, it's up to you, if you're like us, more glaze!

Hope you enjoy these x
