after nearly 4 months, i finally made it to #50! to commemorate the occasion, i baked something that has been on my list for a few months now...Sticky Buns! during a Borders clearance sale, i was eager to spend my $20 gift card on a cookbook before all of the stores shut down. i lucked out and found a baking book from Joanne Chang. i recognized her from an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay. i flipped through the pages and i was really impressed with the book (plus i love how it has so many photos & stories).the sticky buns looked so amazing on Throwdown so I decided to give it a shot. it was a random sunday and i didn't have much to do so i decided to make the sticky buns (which took about 10 hours total including rise time). you can't see in the photo, but below the buns is a pool of "goo" which is comprised of sugar, butter, cream, and pecans. i was really happy with how the sticky buns turned out. this one is a keeper but i will probably only make these for very special occasions or on a rainy day.
