There are times, even when the sun shines, that here in the woods we lose electric power for unknown reasons. Until the day I was baking these Sun Buns, it had never happened when I had the oven on and baking. But it did happen. I\u2019d have been ok if I\u2019d set the timer on the phone but no, instead, I had the timer set on the oven. So when the power went out, I had no idea how long the bun had been in the oven. I left them way too long.<\/p>\n

Please check out the right way to bake these and for the recipe at our Kitchen of the month Karen at Karen\u2019s Kitchen Stories<\/a>. I believe my would have look almost as good as Karen\u2019s if I hadn\u2019t burned them.<\/p>\n

Custard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The night before baking, I made the custard and the cinnamon paste. I will say both the custard and the cinnamon paste are spectacular standalone!<\/p>\n

This cinnamon topping is gloriously good.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The dough was beautifully soft and silky.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Did I tell you that cinnamon filling\/paste wad incredible. So incredible I was tempted to just spread it on toast.<\/p>\n

The dough was silky lovely. It rolled out exceptionally nice easy strips that tied into surprisingly easy beautiful knots.<\/p>\n

The one and really only suggestion I could make would be to skip covering the custard and go straight to putting it into a ziplock bag because why waste plastic film to prevent a film forming on top of the custard when the neatest way to fill a dimple in a knot is by putting the custard into a ziplock bag where no film will form on any surface and all you need do to is snip the corner of the ziplock and squeeze enough to fill a dimple.<\/p>\n

I really hate to show you what came out of my oven but that\u2019s not the reason I\u2019m late with my post. No, I hate admitting perhaps even more that i got my days mixed up. <\/p>\n

Elizabeth reminded me too late the way to clean burned or over baked bottoms is with a grater so I resorted to cutting the bottoms off the over baked buns \u2026. You really can\u2019t over bake the sun, it just turns brown and ugly.<\/p>\n

The two in the left photo came the closest to being eatable, well almost.<\/p>\n
