cinnamon bun

Glazed breakfast coil

A cinnamon bun is a sweet pastry made from rolled dough spread with butter, cinnamon, and sugar, then sliced and baked.

The spiral cross-section shows layers of filling.

Cinnamon buns are often topped with icing or cream cheese frosting.

Also called cinnamon roll: I grabbed a cinnamon bun with my coffee.
