I love this person who came up with National Specific Food days. Like National Pie Day. Or National Doughnut Day. Or National Drink Wine Day (that was last Friday, 2/18. And yes, I did partake of a few glasses).
Today, is National Sticky Bun day, a sainted day in Sugar Lovin scripture.
What's not to love about a sticky bun? When made right, they are gooey, sticky, sweet, soft, warm, and have just a hint of the yeasty flavor of a delicious fresh roll.
The best sticky buns, according to the website, http://www.beststickybuns.com/, are from Fritz's Bakery in Pennsylvania (most locations are near Philadelphia). Actually, http://www.beststickybuns.com/ is Fritz's website, so if you go to that site, you might find it a little biased. That said, I've never had a Fritz sticky bun, but according to Yelp and Urban Spoon , they really might be the best.
Here's a shortcut recipe to fast and delicious sticky buns from Ina (and yes, this is how I came up with my shortcut cinnamon rolls with puff pastry).
If you want to go the traditional route, here's a different recipe for the adventurer. Julia Childs happened to think that this recipe yielded the best sticky bun she'd ever had in her life.
Either way, I'll likely be stopping at a bakery on my way home (or maybe during lunch, you never know) for some sticky bun deliciousness.
