We at the GD*BG are not only into making THINGS...but we also like to make FOOD!!!!!
So... I thought I'd whip up a sensible breakfast this morning... so of course I consulted my Ina Garten cookbooks! (She's my FAVE!) And I found her Sticky Buns recipe!!!
Well... a quick glance at the ingredients list, and we were in business! I basically had all I needed!!!!
Firstly, my little helper got himself into his Apron....
We hadn't set the butter out, so I nuked it on the "soften cream cheese" setting to soften it a bit before it went into the mixer to be whipped up with brown sugar. At first, I didn't realize the recipe was for two sheets of puff pastry (I knew I only had one) so I made too much topping. But, heck, as we know, I'm a more-is-more, so I just overdid it!! Dropped big ol' spoons of the butter/sugar goodness into 6 of the muffin holes. Then sprinkled pecans on top.
Then I laid out a sheet of puff pastry (also thawed in the nuker, brushed it with melted butter, and covered it with brown sugar and cinnamon, and Sam sprinkled on the rest of a bag of pecans! (The recipe called for raisins, and while I like raisins, I don't care for them in m'cinnamon rolls...so I used pecans inside instead!)
We and I rolled up the puff-pastry and cut it into 6 pieces...
And with Sammy's help, put them into the muffin tin as well, gushing them down into the butter/sugar goodness! And into the oven they went!!!
Whoa... buttery goodness! The house smells awesome! These are by far the simplest cinnamon rolls or sticky buns EVER!!!
So pleased! SUPER-DELISH!
Thanks again, Ina! Every time I make one of your recipes, I'm in love with you even more!!!
LONG LIVE THE STICKY BUNS!!!!
Enjoy! And Happy Mother's Day!
