You can use a cinnamon/sugar mix as you would for cinnamon buns. The
dough is similar too. I don't like cinnamon in those quantities - the
smell in mall food courts where there is a C/bun stall is sickening to
me. I have been thinking of a Canadian version where I paint the dough
with syrup and sprinkle maple sugar over it for texture.
