rebeccmeisterI've been going through back issues of Food and Wine, tearing out recipes that sound interesting and with potential. Meanwhile, DM gifted me a bag of pecans as a wee hostess gift, so I decided to put two and two together and make one of the recipes I'd torn out, for butterscotch sticky buns.
There's a slight hitch, which I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scrottie already knows - I get "sugared out" by recipes that contain too much gooey sweetness. I've never liked all that much sugar. Actually, DM and I had been discussing this, too, as we both think things like pecan pie are too sticky-sweet. She's in search of an alternative pecan pie concept, so if you have ideas along those lines, please share them.
Anyway. The weekend's going to be busy, so I made the sticky buns this morning. I decided not to make the glaze, however, as I lacked three of the ingredients. Plus - the glaze mostly just adds even more sweetness. Perhaps that makes these cinnamon rolls instead of sticky buns. Hrm.
I also ran out of whole wheat flour (only added 3/4 cup before switching to white flour), and subbed in a third cup of soy flour.
Long story short - I like the dough recipe. Next time, I'll halve the brown sugar for the filling (they are still ungodly sweet! Makes my teeth hurt.), and will hopefully have more whole wheat flour on hand. Eventually, I will hopefully have a nice cinnamon roll recipe to share with you.
