Yum! @Smithy, those cinnamon buns look great and your recipe sleuthing is truly impressive! When I pulled out Deep Run Roots the other day, I spied the recipe for Sausage-Stuffed Honey Buns that has long intrigued me. They look like cinnamon rolls but with caramelized sausage in the filling. Vivian describes them as being like a side of sausage with pancakes. Your post gives me a nudge to see how well I can reduce the recipe to a reasonable size for a single-person household!
Edited to add that that recipe makes 20 buns!
