Traditional cinnamon buns are made with yeast, but these rich, semi-flaky biscuit style buns are faster to make and just as delicious! In fact, this recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes, making these perfect for anytime snacking or breakfasts, and the tiny batch size is great for feeding two or three!
