Recipes from another Kitchen

I didn't realize how much I would miss baking/cooking :( But, I have done a little baking while we've been here... brownies, cookies, and salsa!

I can't wait until Fall Break... I think I am going to do some baking with the girls!

Thanks to Mrs. Kenow though, I have some recipes that I am so excited to use when I come home for Thanksgiving! I thought I'd share one with you today. I don't have pictures of what she made for us, but I found this one on google images and it is pretty darn close to what Mrs. Kenow made! She is an amazing cook and is so thoughtful to bake for us! We love it all!

a quick and easy recipe that produces all the favorite flavors of caramel rolls in an hour

Speedy One Hour Sticky Buns
Ingredients:
4-1/2 to 5 cups bread flour
4-1/2 tsp. instant blend dry yeast
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1/2 c. water
1/3 c. butter or margarine
1 egg
TOPPING:
1/3 c. butter
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. chopped pecans

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 c. flour, yeast, sugar, and salt; mix well. In saucepan, heat milk, water, and butter until warm (120-130 degrees) butter does not need to melt. Add egg. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on floured surface until smooth and elastic, 3-5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm oven (turn to lowest setting for one minute, turn off) for 15 minutes.

Prepare topping: in small saucepan, combine butter and brown sugar; heat and stir until blended. Add nuts. Spoon topping into greased muffin pan cups.

Divide dough into 4 parts. Divide each fourth into 6 pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball; place in cups. Cover; let rise in warm oven for 10 minutes. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Cover pans with foil and invert onto rack. Cool 1 minute; remove pans. Cool.
