When the kids are home, I've gotta do much more baking and cooking than I do when school is in session. I found this easy sticky bun recipe the other day and it has been requested for breakfast several times already. It really is good and easy. I will put this down for fast school morning breakfasts.
Sticky buns:
Sticky buns:Topping
1/4 c melted butter
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup chopped pecans...Ashley doesn't like them so I left them out.
Buns:
1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 can Pillsbury flaky layers biscuits
Heat oven to 375
in ungreased 8 inch round pan place 1/4 cup melted butter, stir in brown sugar and corn syrup until well blended...sprinkle with nuts
in small bowl place 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter and in another small bowl all the sugar and cinnamon. Dip each biscuit into the butter and then roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Arrange in round pan
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or til golden brown. cool 2 minutes, turn upside down onto serving plate...let pan remain 1 minute so caramel can drizzle over rolls. serve warm!
Cucumber DIP.....
This is so simple, yet one of my most favorite dips that my mom has made my whole life. I love it on crackers or chips, and it is even really good to make a sandwich spread out of it with some extra sliced cucumbers.
use one block of cream cheesecucumber
I used a fresh cucumber that I got from my In laws garden and left the skin on it, but I don't like the skin of store bought cucumbers...they are waxy!
grate your cucumber on the large side of the grater and add it to your softened cream cheese and mix well. I used a medium sized cucumber, it is really your preference. Add salt and pepper to taste and let your flavors "marry" in the fridge for a couple hours.
SOOOO GOOD!
