Cinnamon Roll Waffles (Easy & from scratch)

   The cinnamon rolls I grew up on were not the yeasty kind that you will find in shopping malls, and airport kiosks.  They were quick and easy, from scratch and delicious.  In fact I have always thought they were a bazillion times more delicious than any you can buy.   My mother used to use biscuit dough, slather it with soft butter, sprinkle on cinamon sugar and then roll it up, cutting it into slices and baking them until they were crisp and golden brown.  Easy peasy and done in half an hour.   Sometimes she would add raisins.  There was never any icing.  We didn't mind in the least. These were a rare treat and we treated them as such!   I used to make them for my children also, as a bedtime snack every now and then. They loved them.  I never iced them either.  The idea of icing them never occured to me really.  They loved them just as they were, and I always popped in plenty of raisins and sometimes chopped nuts.

Cinnamon Swirl Tea Bread Updated for Christmas

  One thing I like to bake every Christmas is my Cinnamon Swirl Tea Bread. It is a recipe I got from my good friend Leona many years ago, and it is delicious!  Normally I just bake it plain, but during the Holidays I like to dress it up with a glaze!   Its incredibly moist and buttery and goes down very well with a hot cup of whatever floats your boat.  Tea, coffee, herbal infusions, hot cocoa . . .   The rich batter contains butter and sour cream, which helps to make it incredibly moist.  This is one of those breads that just gets better with each day that passes.   Tea Breads are called Tea Breads because they are delicious served with cups of tea, not because they are made with tea.  The same way breakfast coffee cakes are not really made with coffee but meant to be enjoyed with hot coffee . . .   This delicious loaf has a lovely cinnamon flavour  . . .  both in the swirl which uses lots of soft light brown sugar and ground cinna...

Cinnamon Toast Cake

   This is a cake recipe I have been eye-balling for quite some time now.  It closely resembles other cake recipes that I have seen, called Cinnamon Flop Cake, Amish Cinnamon Cake, etc.  I have tried a few of those and they didn't turn out very well, which is why I have waited so long to bake this one.    With no eggs and not a lot of fat . . .  I  had my reservations about it . . . but the photo in the cookbook looked really good . . .   It comes from this cookery book, written by Mary Younkin, creater of Barefeet in The Kitchen.com .  You can also find her recipe, with pics, here. Its a great blog and this is a fabulous cookbook.   It looks really good and I think you will realise why I wanted to bake it.  I love Cinnamon and I adore Cinnamon Toast.  Today I decided to take a chance and I baked it.   This has to be one of the easiest cakes I have ever baked.  It uses things I always have in the house and there...
