There's nothing like starting off the morning with a sticky bun. This bad for you all American pastry has been around for a long time. It has got enough sugar to keep you going throughout the day. This fun food is also a good foil to your mornings hot cup of strong java.
Sticky buns are Germanic in origin , probably coming over with the Pennsylvania Dutch. They were called shcreken. The Swedes also make a variation of this which grew into the ever popular cinnamon bun.Any kind of sweet bun and still are popular with Philadelphians and South Jerseyites.
Basically a sticky bun is no more than a form of yeast bread that is rolled flat. On top of this goes melted butter, cinnamon and raisins It is then rolled back up much in the fashion of a jelly roll cut into buns and then backed. Some kind of icing is then slathered on it , whether it just be a confectioner's glaze or cream cheese icing.
If you;re vacationing in South Jersey this summer head to any bakery and pick up one. Sticky buns are the best, most decadent way to start a day.
