- Softened butter matters: Ensure the butter in your top layer is soft (not melted) for the best texture in the cinnamon swirl.
- Don’t over-swirl: Gentle marbling gives you distinct ribbons of flavor — too much mixing can blend it all together.
- Serve warm: For that true cinnamon roll experience, serve slices slightly warm with the glaze melting into each bite.
- Storage: Keep leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa for a cozy breakfast or afternoon treat.
- Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert version.
- Sprinkle with extra cinnamon or chopped pecans before baking for a little crunch and warmth.
