I only made half the brioche recipe this time, using one egg and one egg yolk in place of 1 ½ eggs. We had a chilly spell in southern California this weekend, so it took forever for the butter to soften. I finally placed it in the oven while my proofing cycle was going and that did the trick. And I used 2 kinds of honey – a light, mild honey a friend had given me, and a darker honey from Germany. When combined, there was just enough, so I was able to free up some pantry space.
Oh, and for flipping out the sticky sticky buns? Non-stick tin foil is just the ticket.
I gave six buns to my next-door neighbor. Ha ha – her 9-year-old son thinks I’m a goddess! When I called yesterday, I got her voice mail, so I left a message about still-warm sticky buns. Within minutes the phone rang, and she said she had heard a rumor that there were fresh sticky buns. It seems her son had been listening while I left the phone message, and immediately went outside to get his mother and tell her the news.
Thanks to Madame Chow from Madame Chow’s Kitchen for choosing this addicting recipe. Now, go drool over all the buns from the TWD bakers.

Isn't it wonderful when little kids worship you and all you have to do is give them sticky buns! Both of my neighbor's kids came over with plates and left with their share! Great looking buns!
your buns rolled up so perfectly round! love that the neighbor's son was secretly listening to your message, salivating about fresh hot buns, so funny!

I see that your neighbor's son is a man of great taste!
They look great. Too funny....boys follow their stomachs.
I love those beautiful spirals in your pre-baked picture. Your finished sticky buns look just like the book's. Nice work!
