February 21 is a perfectly tasty holiday! It’s National Sticky Bun Day! This sweet roll is Germanic in origin, although I’m sure it’s gone through many changes through the years.
The “stickiness” – ingredients like brown sugar, butter, honey, or whatever else the cook wants – is placed on the bottom of the pan. When it’s done cooking, you flip it upside down, and all the stickiness becomes the topping!
I grew up with a deliciously easy version, but I can’t remember it at all, so here’s a recipe from “Taste of Home.”
“Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
honey from the comb is sweet to your taste.”
Proverbs 24:13
It’s National Sticky Bun Day! Sticky buns, also known as cinnamon rolls, are a delicious breakfast pastry made with leavened dough. Traditional recipes call for a glazed topping with pecans, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, and butter.
The first people to add honey and nuts to their bread were the Ancient Egyptians. Glazed pastries have been popular ever since! German settlers in Pennsylvania created our modern-day sticky buns. The pastries were originally called “Schnecken” and are still considered a Philadelphia specialty.
Celebrate National Sticky Bun Day by baking some fresh sticky buns to share with friends and family!
