10 tips til, når du tilbereder denne ret

Brug fuldfed mælk eller fløde for en fyldigere smag.
Skær kanelruller jævnt for ensartet tekstur.
Lad blandingen trække i 10 minutter før bagning, hvis du foretrækker en blødere gryde.
Tilsæt rosiner, pekannødder eller æblestykker for variation.
Overbag ikke - den skal være gylden, men stadig blød i midten.
Varm glasuren lidt op, før du drypper den for jævn.
Server straks for den bedste konsistens.
Gør i forvejen ved at køle natten over og bage om morgenen.
Tilføj en flødeostglasur for en rigere dessert-stil gryderet.
Opbevar rester i køleskabet og opvarm i ovnen for at holde dem klistrede.

Server den med forslag:

Frisk frugt eller bær
Røræg eller bacon til kontrast
Varm kaffe eller chai latte
Vaniljeyoghurt eller flødeskum
Et skvæt ekstra ahornsirup for sødme
