A tradition in Madison since the early 1970s, morning buns are so lushly delicious they once caused a journalist to declare: “Only one other thing is better in the morning than a morning bun.” The legendary pastry was born when a baker sprinkled cinnamon sugar onto croissant dough, rolled and cut the dough into oversize rounds, baked these until high and golden, then tumbled the warm buns in more cinnamon-sugar. For the real McCoy, in all its flaky, cinnamon-y glory, visit Lazy Jane’s Cafe on Madison’s east side.
