It is my second week with the Tuesdays with Dorie bake-along.
This week the recipe is Pecan Honey Sticky Buns and is found on pages 51-53 of Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours cookbook. (As stated before, due to copyright, I will not post the recipe, but you can find it on several of the blogs listed at the TWD site, link to it at the left bar.)
While time consuming, the recipe is straightforward, easy to follow, and turned out the very first time for me...a big plus in the baking department around here.
First, let me say that I am going straight to HELL. These are very very good and one could become lustful of Pecan Honey Sticky Buns in very short order. Something this good, with this much butter and sugar, is certainly a sin!
First time around, this recipe is time-consuming, no doubt about it. I can see, however, that a second go at it would move much quicker due to familiarity with the recipe and all the little tricks one knows for doing more than one thing at a time that comes with having worked a recipe a second time.
That said, this is now my ONLY Pecan Honey Sticky Bun recipe...all others are flying out of here.
Make them. And when you do, make sure that you have company coming, neighbors who are willing to indulge in baked products, two ravenously hungry teenage boys, and one very sweet husband who has had a love affair with pecan sticky buns for years and years, because temptation will run its course with these...truly a great recipe. Definitely a keeper.
Next week are the French Chocolate Brownies on pages 92-93 of Dorie's book. Hmmmm...chocolate....no temptation for me there: redemption! (But my family will definitely be enthusiastically awaiting next Tuesday.)
