STICKY BUNS
About once a year, whenever I feel that my marriage
needs an artificial shot of undying devotion and true love,
I’ll wake my lovely wife up with the unmistakable scent of
gooey sticky buns baking in the oven.I figure this act alone is enough to get me off the hook for a
whole year’s worth of minor marital infractions—or major
ones, if I include a ramekin of orange-cream-cheese glaze
for dipping on the side.
Seriously, these things are awesome. Awesome enough
that I decided to include them to wrap up this chapter
despite the fact that there’s not all that much as far as “new”
kitchen science goes here. Aside from minor tweaks to
perfect the recipe, these sticky buns are pretty standard. But
sometimes some minor tweaks is all it takes to perfect a
standard.
