If you don't have a bread maker, I'd suggest you begin a routine of scoping out your local thrift shops. You can pick up a used one for $6 - $8, and with a little finagling, possibly reduce that amount a dollar or two. I'm sure you noticed there are a few appliances utilized here on this blog due to the simple fact they save you money in the long run! If you have been previously busy with a heavy work load, you used them to make those dinner nights easier. But, now that you may be in between jobs, it's time to reignite the passion and start making things from scratch!
Oh, sure you may be used to cracking those cans of cinnamon buns early Saturday morning taking the extra few minutes to place them in the pan and feeling like you've just doled out a homemade breakfast. But, now that you have a few more minutes to spare, why not try making them homemade? And these are sheerly delicious! In fact to get you started, here is my simplest recipe. These turn out so light and airy, unlike their traditional canned counterparts.
In your breadmaker add:
1 package of active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup margarine softened
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
3 1/2 cups flour
Place all ingredients into your bread maker and place setting on DOUGH. Once the cycle is complete you may roll out your dough directly from the machine as it has already completed its first rise. Roll out to a LARGE rectangle.

Once dough is rolled out. Place the following on top of the dough:
1 stick of margarine or butter softened, smear over entire dough - easier than melting!
3/4 - 1 cup brown sugar, sprinkled over butter
1 - 2 tsp. cinnamon, sprinkled over brown sugar
1/4 cup honey, poured over cinnamon
Crimp edges on the roll securing filling as shown in video. Cut in 1 inch sections and place on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
While baking make topping:
1 -2 tab. milk
2 - 3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix well, consistency should be a smooth glaze.
As soon as those buns pop out of the oven, spoon glaze over them while still HOT! Best if eaten right from oven so timing is of the essence on this one!
