From the Kitchen
One of the benefits of writing this article is that we often
get feedback from our members and also people at large in the city of
Just as the paper went to publication for September, I got a
phone call from a nice lady who especially enjoyed the article concerning
celiac disease in July. She had in her
repertoire, a recipe that was easy, fast and most of all, delicious sugary
sweet for all of you with a sweet tooth out there and she was kind enough to
want to share it with you all. Joan
even mentioned that “men could do this recipe”!
Imagine my consternation!
Joan said the thing that she most like about this is that it
required little work and only took as little as ten or fifteen minutes of actual
work and made one of the best desserts.
So I will share her letter and recipe with you.
Here is the
Ultimate Coffee Cake recipe. It is
so easy....your seniors could make this for themselves
, even the men....hope
you will share it with them.
The original does not call for cinnamon and I
put my ingredients in, in a different order and sometimes replace the nuts with
raisins.
I have made this several times, experimenting
each time and this is the best way I found....but you can adapt it easily as you
desire.
Equipment: a Bundt pan, 1/2 cup measuring cup
Ingredients:
16 to 18 unbaked
frozen dinner rolls (according to pan size) ....I found these at Safeway (their
brand) in the freezer section for about $2.29 per dozen bag
1 (3-oz) package
regular butterscotch pudding mix, NOT INSTANT. I could not find this
size, so bought the 170g size and sprinkled in about 1/2 the box
1/2 cup brown sugar,
packed
1/2 cup pecans,
chopped ( I used walnuts and sometimes just raisons)
1 stick (1/2 cup)
butter, melted ( about 30secs or so in the microwave)
cinnamon
to your taste
Process:
The night before needed, place frozen rolls in
a well greased Bundt Pan, distributing evenly.
Sprinkle on the cinnamon all around on the rolls.
Sprinkle on the pecans or walnuts or raisons
or whatever combination you want of these items
Sprinkle the dry pudding mix over the rolls
Sprinkle brown sugar over the pudding mix
Pour the melted butter over all
To prevent the dough from forming a hard crust
while it is rising overnight, cover with a damp towel or some type of cover or
bowl that covers over the top of the Bundt pan tightly around the edges, and is
high enough so the rolls won't touch it when they rise. You can cover
with plastic clear wrap, but the rolls will stick and fall when you remove the
wrap to bake them.
Let rise overnight at room temperature about 8
to 10 hours ( you could also start these in the
morning for afternoon or dinner treats, etc.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Bake in oven for 25 - 30 minutes, depending on
how hot your oven gets....sometimes at 30 minutes, my oven will slightly scorch
the tops....which actually becomes the bottom of the coffee cake....so not a
big deal. I also brush the top with butter when I take them out of
the oven before turning out on a plate.
Once baked, turn the pan over onto a serving
platter to remove. Buns will be sticky and have excess liquid that will
run down sides, so plate should be large or have a lip.
Serve by pulling apart chunks (individual
rolls) with forks
THIS IS THE MOST
FANTASTIC RECIPE....
Thanks Joan for your submission.
