Cinnamon Buns, Quick!
The Quimper Hittys nearly forgot that today is National Cinnamon Bun Day. Which meant they had to come up with a quick plan to get some made in time for afternoon tea. Fortunately, a favourite recipe in their household is called Quick Cinnamon Buns. Constance and Hattie checked the recipe, and the cupboards, and found they did not even need to shop for ingredients, but could start right in on baking.
They did have to substitute dried blueberries for raisins. Since Constance and her sisters love blueberries, that was no hardship at all.

This recipe comes from an old friend, many years ago, and is in the Quimper Hitty’s handwritten recipe book of favourites.

All rolled up and ready for the oven. Cat! Be careful, we don’t like to find whiskers in our dessert.

The buns were ready in time for tea, and a great feast was had by all. Even though the cat was extra helpful, no whiskers were found in any of the buns, much to the girl’s relief.

They look delicious! And who knew there was a National Cinnamon Bun day? Is that only in Canada? I wish I’d known in time – I can be there in, oh…about 10 hours or so. Will they still be fresh and warm? Happy
October 4th is National Cinnamon Bun Day in Sweden! The Hittys are very much in favour of Celebrations relating to delicious food!
So clever of you to borrow a holiday from another country and celebrate it. Good idea.
Oh Yum! The QHs sure do a lot of tasty baking. I would not be surprised to learn they are napping by the stove now, with a cat on their laps.
Very very yummy, especially the whiff of candied ginger. The Quimper Hittys are very grateful to their favourite photographer for documenting their efforts!
a quick cinnimon bun recipe?! That is very interesting. All of mine take a while. By the way everyone in my house loves Constance’s kitty cat pinny. Very fun pics and the buns look quite delicious!!
We bought the kitty pinafore from our Hitty friend Fung! The buns were just a teeny tasty morsel for a human, but very delicious as the human can attest…
I’m drooling all over my keyboard! What a yummy treat the girls made!
They are good cooks!
When one “knows” the Quimper Hittys, it seems like there’s always a party of sorts going on…what a wonderful bunch of Hittys to know and walk through life with….especially with such tasty treats that they tempt us with and introduce us to.
There is always a reason to celebrate.
DELICIOUS !!!
They were very good, and the humans were grateful to the Hittys for making it possible to celebrate properly.
