Sticky Bun Recipe!

A couple of days ago, I made these delicious Sticky Buns! So I wanted to share them with you!

The dough is the same that I use for our church's communion bread.

For dough:

2 cups hot water,
4 teaspoons yeast,

Mix,

1/2 cup white sugar,
1/4 cup oil, 
1 warm egg,
2 teaspoons salt

Mix,

6-7 cups white flour, add 1 cup at a time while mixing.

For glaze:

½ cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
¼ cup heavy cream or half n half

Bake at 375 for I don't know how long;)


I use a Bosch mixer, but I think you can make it in Kitchenaid with a dough hook. I'll have to try that sometime, because I think our poor Bosch is dying. 


Roll it out until it is about 1/4 inch thick.


Spread with butter.


Dust with a cinnamon and white sugar mix. 


Then spread with brown sugar. A little goes a long way.


Roll into log and cut. 


Put all glaze ingredients into a sauce pan on medium heat and melt. Pour it into a greased 9x13, then put your rolls in it for 1/2 hour covered to rise.


Bake until golden brown. 
Oops, I got my finger in there!


If that doesn't look just heavenly, I don't know what does!

After 5 minutes, (if you do longer or shorter time, it won't come out well) turn out onto desired platter, and enjoy!  

They are dangerously good! I really wanted to eat the whole pan by myself! They are a lot like cinnamon rolls, just bumped up a couple of notches! Soft and sticky, but with a delightful crust around the edges, I think I'll have to make some more very soon!

Trip To The Creek


Hey Everyone!
 Today, Lydia, Ben and I went down to the creek behind our house!  We had a lot of fun exploring all of the changes that the flooding in the winter makes! (But I forgot the phone so I didn't get any pictures.) 
 It has been the most beautiful, sunny weather here, and I was hoping to go out and take a bunch of pictures, but unfortunately, it got too late.  So, I will have to try some other day.


Here is the lovely dinner Amber had prepared for us when we got back!

So, I am hoping to start making some of my favorite recipes, and posting them on here!  How does that sound?

The Adventure Begins!


Welcome to my blog!  I thought I'd start with some pictures from Nathan and Heather's wedding, back in September.


Here are my beautiful sisters and sister-in-law.  Sisters, who you can't stay mad at because you have something to tell them.  Sisters who laugh and cry with you, and who you stay up late with talking and giggling...  I love my awesome sisters!


Keslie, how could you say such a thing!


Isn't she just gorgeous?


I am so thankful that God has put these wonderful people into my life!


What a sweet bunch!


They make such a sweet couple!  I miss you two in Spain. (three now!)

I hope you have enjoyed this first of many posts.
