Estonian cinnamon pastries

I really love all kinds of cinnamon baked goods, but this recipe, found quite by accident on the Internet, will always be my favorite! Crispy sweet crust on the outside and soft, melting in the mouth, dough with an incredible smell of cinnamon on the inside. It would seem that you won't surprise anyone with cinnamon rolls, but these pastries look so unusual that you can serve them both for a family dinner and for a festive table!
