Brunch Recipe: Caramel-Pecan Sticky Buns Recipes from The Kitchn. These are inspired by what my Southern grandmother called "stickies. " She would pat out her homemade buttermilk biscuit dough into a rectangle, top it with soft butter and cinnamon-sugar, roll it up into a log, cut it into rounds, and nestle them into a cake pan. Delicious for sure, but some cooks — even accomplished ones — can feel a little intimidated about making homemade biscuits. This short-cut version is equally divine, but really easy. If you can stir up a cake mix, you can make these sticky buns.

The recipe starts with spooning a simple caramel sauce into a muffin pan along with a few pecans. Next, scoops of simple drop biscuit dough are rolled in melted butter and cinnamon sugar, and then plopped into the pan. In only 15 minutes, the soft, warm, fragrant, sticky buns emerge from the oven, dripping with caramel.

I haven’t eaten a persimmon in at least a few years, so I’m not sure why I decided to buy 3 hard-as-a-rock hachiya persimmons at the store the other day.

As soon as I brought them home I started looking for recipes, but immediately realized it would be days (weeks?) Before they were ripe enough to bake with. So I took them to Portland in case they ripened there (they didn’t), then brought them back here and finally they were nice and soft and ready to puree. Look! Seasonally appropriate and orange, but not pumpkin. Not that I’m sick of pumpkin, it’s just a nice change. And for the second time in a month, I’m using brandy. The weird thing about these muffins is that they don’t taste like persimmons. I baked them last night while Mike worked on decorating our apartment. They were a dollar each at Target. Just about every other apartment in our building has decorations in the windows so we needed to do something mildly festive. Recipe: (adapted from James Beard via David Lebovitz) share.

I usually make enough muffins to last us from Mon through Fri and to avoid monotony I am trying to come up with new flavors each week.

This time it came to me when I was weeding my garden and trying to maneuver around a huge rosemary plant.
