This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at LSU chapter.

Buying, eating, or even remotely thinking about Cinnabons are as mind-blowing as the results for the 2016 election, and if you’re anything like me, you’re stuffing your face with Cinnabons every chance you get in order to get over those results. Aside from the oh-so-popular waffle iron hack, there’s a few other Cinnabon hacks out there to keep you on your toes.

Cinnadonut

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 10 minutesCook time: 5 minutesTotal time: 15 minutesServings:8 servings

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Vernell Dunams

    Begin by rolling cinnamon roll dough flat. If you prefer the full donut experience, cut the shape out at this step, but no one is judging you if you want a full donut sans hole.

  2. Vernell Dunams

    Fry the donut for 1-2 minutes on each side. When frying the first side, a good indicator to know when to flip is when the donut begins to float.

  3. Vernell Dunams

    Glaze the donuts while still hot.
