Today is National Sticky Bun Day!
I bet you thought Feb. 21 was Presidents’ Day. Well, it is, but who can resist a day devoted to sticky buns?
Here is what is said about this day:
National Sticky Bun Day on February 21st recognizes a delicious pastry that comes rolled up and dripping with a sweet, sugary topping.
Known as “schnecken” meaning snail, the sticky bun is rolled into a sweet spiral resembling its German name. Still considered to be a Pennsylvania specialty, many believed the sticky bun’s origin in the United States began in the 19th century. German settlers brought their baking traditions with them when they began settling in and around Philadelphia.
Famous cousins to the sticky bun are the cinnamon roll, caramel roll and monkey bread.
Two challenges for our February discussion/writing group:
1) make sticky buns (recipes to follow) and 2) do you have a favorite yummy pastry to tell about?
