How to make Swedish Cinnamon Buns! 

As a Swede, I can say that I had never tried the buns with icing until I came to the U.S. We really don't make them that way too often. The most classic way is the ones he made with the pearl sugar and I swear, those ones fresh out of the oven with a glass of milk are basically the best things ever.

Do not put them on muffin plates! They can't expand properly and gains height instead which is not that nice. Here in Sweden we lay them on a big plate and give them room so they can expand and grow in both height and width, that way they gain that delicious moistening middle that we Swedes love. And def. no icing. So if you want the Swedish way, this is it, still loved the video :)

Im from Sweden and I always grew up by doing this: they get more fluffy and bigger if u let them rise 40 min after you put them in the tins whit the cinnamon mix, then put the egg and perl sugar on top and in to the oven:)

It's very common to let the dough rise again after shaping them for 30-40 mins or so, I would advise you to try it once :D

Thank you so much for this recipe! My mum used to bake these when I was in my teens. I never knew it was a swedish recipe. Every now and then she would start mixing the ingredients while I was getting ready to go to the school. Those days, at mid morning break, I would ride my moped home with a school friend on the back and we would have a bun or 2 with brazilian style filtered coffee. My mum past away when I was 18 and I never had a chance to learn how to bake it until now. These is exactly the same recipe she would delight us with, except for the cardamon, which we don't find as easily in Brazil. Going to bake it tomorrow for breakfast. Surely it will bring me some absolutely lovely memories, can't wait.

We swedes bake and eat these buns a lot.. we also do the same buns but alternate the filling and then call them vanillabuns. Instead of having cinnamon you use a filling of..200 gram butter, 1,5 dl crystal sugar and 1/2 dl vanilla sugar. You really should try that too cos it is delicious.

YUMMM!!! Maybe the fifth time I've been watching this, but I just looove the way you talk and bake.. OMG "cause every time you don't a fairy dies"- legit!!

This is less a recipe video and more a PSA for a happier, and tastier, life. And as a Swede, I approve of this message.

I always let my rolls have a second rise before I put them in the oven. They became so fluffy that way. I've also found it more saucy (which is how I personally like my cinnamon filling) to melt the filling butter and make sure the dough is nicely saturated. Then I add my cinnamon sugar mixture. The insides don't dry out so much then!

Am I the only one who has gotten THE BIGGEST crush on him... Ugh he's so adorable

I found this recipe of yours back on 12/19/2014, i made them for Christmas as our family recipe had been lost. These taste and look EXACTLY like the ones I grew up with. I printed it out this time, so I don't lose it! Heya Heya Heya Donal, Väldigt bra!

OMG!! is all can say! I have tried so many cinnamon roll/bun recipes out there and none of them,not none of them can even come close to measuring up to this one. I LOVE THEM! My family love them!

I just recently discovered your channel and I absolutely love it. So professionally made and you have a great personality!

I like the way he says buns "bons" so cute ^-^

yes im from sweden and i loooovee these buns! especially my grandmothers!

Thats lovely.. Donal.. i watch your videos not only for recipes but for immense upbeat energy you have.. stay blessed dear.

I just recently started to fall in love with baking. I tried your recipe and it was the first time I was working with yeast. They turned out great and were so delicious, my dad couldn't stop eating them. Thank you for the great recipe. :)

infusing the milk/butter mixture with a pinch of saffron before adding it to the dry ingredients gives this such a great flavour above the already amazing flavour and gives it a deeper colour!

I'm making these right now the doughs just proving, I can't wait!

Very easy recipe. I have been making batches of these Swedish Cinnamon Buns, people just love them. A really delicious treat!

Just made them today, great! Love love your kitchen!

Your videos are so much fun to watch!! And thank you for this recipe!

yummy!!! looks really nice! i thank that`s going to be my favourite!

Thank u for the recipe it turns so good at this time, so I had trouble with the dough rising so i use the "proof box" method in the oven and it worked great! (Turn the oven on to about 150-200 degrees, put a pot of boiling water in the oven, then the bowl with the dough and make sure it's covered with a cloth, then turn off the oven and shut the door. The dough rises much faster this way) And I did do a second rise after the rolls were in the pan.

Tried your recipe innumerable times, the end product is sublime, thank you for sharing the recipe. In conclusion : your positive attitude combined with swedish cinnamon buns equal inspiration!

i have been trying to make cinnamon rolls for the last 2 years and i can proudly say that it finally turned out delicious-- and its all thanks to DONAL :) thaaank you xxxx going to be making these on a regular basis wohoo

Really love all your recipes!! I use to dread about cooking in my school but seeing you so enthusiastic about cooking maked me think that cooking is actually very fun haha!

My god. This is amazing Donal! Thank you! I'm definitely going to make this!

In Finland we have this thing called " Korvapuusti". Its basically same but we add a pinch of melancholy and for the dessert a lot of domestic violence.

Ive seriously never smiled this long, your so entertaining god and now im done with my cinnamon buns that actually never thought i would do great, THANKS

Made these for brunch this weekend for friends... Was a HUGE...HUGE hit!!!... Many thanks for all you do... Awesome!

So easy and looks delish.. gonna bake'em with my friends this sat.. Donal def need more viewers

Thank you so much to share the great recipe here, and your presentation is so cheering. Really feel happy after watch it.

I just noticed your fish chart in the background. What a great way to remember different types of fish. Especially when you're in a foreign fish market. Oh, yea, nice buns!

omg i made these for the first time two weeks ago, i made a lot more than i was expecting so i gave them away, and EVERYONE loved them!! not one was wasted or thrown away :)

Ive tried them out! Delicious. Simple recipe too. Thanks Donal!

I would agree with putting them away for a second rising after you've put them on the tray. And, of course, always enjoy your buns with a glass of milk and you'll be laughing. :-)

So much energy. I love it

It looks divine! simple ingredients and simple glaze, going to try it right now and tell you later how it will turn out! x

This takes me back to when I was young. I loved making these and I'm happy to see that someone actually got it very accurate. Keep up the good work and now I really want to make them myself!

Oh I am so glad that I found your channel through the SORTED food guys! It is so much fun to watch you cook (you're quite hilarious). You just gained a new subscriber, and I can't wait to try this recipe! xx

Can't wait to give these a try! Another great recipe Donal :)

soo glad i discovered your channel& I'm definitely going to make these soon!

You make me want to start baking. Your very talented!

This was one of the first recipes I made from your blog back in the day! My Food Tech teacher was so impressed!!

I made these and they turned out well. My family loved them. I wanted to give some to my friends to try but my children wanted to keep them all to themselves...that's how good the buns were. Thanks.

This is brilliant! There was a Swedish bakery near where I used to live and I've missed my cardamom bun fix!

Hey! It’s been 7 years and I still make them... Grrreat stuff!

I made these this weekend and everybody loved them!! Thanks so much for sharing!!

OMG i loveeeee dis recpie and your presentation makes it soooo fun :)

Hi Donal! You are a pleasure to watch, so refreshing! I've made those buns, they turned out brilliant! Absolutely to die for! Next time I'd switch it to the French side and use thick custard (crème pâtissière) and dark chocolate bits. I was thinking on a savoury version with cheese. I'll have to work on that one. I just think yours is a fantastic base for many other recipes. Thanks a lot for sharing, I'm looking forward your next recipes! Cheers!

Love seeing a recipe with "swedish" in the title that actually is a recipe of how we make it in Sweden. This is spot on how I've made them my entire life (except we actually have bun liners of paper especially for cinnamon buns. Like muffin liners but wider and shorter) with pearl sugar. The other ones look good too with the iceing... American cinnamon rolls?

Fantastic and easy recipe! Just tried it and the cinnamon bungs were amazing! Notice! I let the dough rise twice! Thank you!!

This reminds me so much of my days in Sweden!! I'll definitely try this recipe on the national cinnamon bun day!

This is the best recipe ever, the cardemon is so good in it. I first made it without but i really missed something in it, and it was the cardemon. So thank you for this awesome video, my family and friends love the buns :D

I have never seen someone soo energetic about baking

I'm from Sweden, and I've grown up with these goodies! And i must say, that I approve of your version haha!

I lived in Finland a while back and always loved eating cinnamon rolls. They call them puula. I tried my first cinnamon bun recipe some time ago hoping to recreate the same puula experience but was disappointed. It was too sugary and lacking in kick. I had another go yesterday with this recipe and I swear I was in 🇫🇮 again eating puula on the dock at cafe regatta / in my apartment (gotten from S-markt). I knew I had found that kick the moment I opened the pack of cardamom. The aroma blew my sock off. Bless India! And Donal, you rock!!!

Thank you for the recipe! I've added a litle bit of whisky and vainilla extract. My family loves them!

Omg it look so delicious )) i will deffenetly try this)) thank you for sharing )) you are very talented host and chef)))

Wow that Looks awesome !!

Loved this video, reminded me of when I used to do them with my grandma as a child :) although there were some differences, dry yeast for example isn't used that often in Sweden and I personally don't use cardamom. Also, I spread butter on the dough and then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar (my mum sometimes use white (?) syrup to make it juicer - I don't like it though) and let them rest for another 45ish minutes after putting them in the tray before baking them (adds a lot to the texture) :)

Such a great idea to bake them all together in a cake tray, looks so appealing! I'm not the best baker, but I'll definitely give them a try.

Great video! I am definitely missing having these from my visit in Sweden last month! Perhaps do a video on how to make Punschrulles? (I can't find any videos for it on RU-vid!)

I made them 3 hours ago, now there are left just 5 pieces (all were 24 pieces) Thank you Donal for the delicious recipe!

Kanelbullar !! Amazing recipe , god i miss sweden so much ! Greetings from mexico !

i've tried them! i love all your recepies 😍😍😍

u're awesome!! i love your recipe.

Perfect treat for today's National Cinnamon bun day in Sweden! Greetings from Stockholm!

I've just made Cinnamon buns the other day, turned out sooo good!!

When it comes to the buns he do in the round form we often use the icing of pouder sugar/water but also vanilla cream applied in thin ringles on top. It should also be pearl sugar on top of each bun in that one.

The minute I get my summer holidays I'm making some of them

Definitely gonna try this! Ingredients are so simple and doesn't require a stand mixer! Do more of these easy recipes! Gonna go get the ingredients now and will do it maybe tmr or tonight!

Lived in both Norge and Sverige for years, but I have to tell you I like my mother's cinnamon rolls the best. I always spread melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on the dough prior to rolling the "log" up and cutting the rolls. We use a round baking pan and when you take them out of the oven, you turn them onto a serving tray or dish and the caramel oozes down the sides. The BEST! I'm not a fan of the frosted cinnamon rolls. I do miss the Perlesukker , but can order that here in the US. Being married to a Viking, from Norge, I bake boller, skolebrød, kneippbrød, rundstykker, etc....so bake a lot. I am going to try this version and see how I like it. I will let you know. :) Crossing fingers!!

Love it! My mom always makes those induviduals, I will have to try them in a cake tin :)

I had quite a lot of experiment with several of recipes. I will follow you next.

You nailed it! When I saw the thumbnail, I was like wait, did the steal those from a Swedish bakery?

I made this yesterday. Man it was so easy just like you said and was absolutely delicious. Coming from a country where 85% of the worlds cinnamon is made I had no problem with sending 5 of them down in one go. :) Thanx for the video mate. I'm gonna try one of your irish food coz I love irish food. If you get a chance please do a Sri Lankan dish too. Cheers.

Love from Singapore, Donal! Stumbled across your channel today and I've been watching your videos for a good 2 hours, (damn!) x
