Breakfast in Coquille Christmas 2008



I put the ham in a 300 degree oven about 7 pm when I realized that the Top Chef Holiday Special was a RE-RUN from last year.

I also prepared the overnight sticky buns as follows:

Bag of frozen bread rolls
1 small package of butterscotch putting (cooked variety not instant(

Oil frozen bread rolls, sprinkle pudding mix over the top.
1/2 cup butter
2-3 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup pecans, if desired. ( I had walnuts on hand)

Pour over frozen rolls. Cover with tin foil. Let stand overnight. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Cool ten minutes,turn over into plate.

I got up at 3 am to turn down to ham, rolls still had not risen, envisioned discarding in large trash bag...GAH!!

Got up a 7 am, took ham out of 170 degree oven, cranked oven up to 350.

Took tin foil off of rolls and BOY did they ever double in size! The top was over flowing the edge of the pan, the butter pats were going to slide off and burn, so I put two cookie sheets on the shelf below and put in the rolls to cook and hoped for the best. Stove promptly began smoking...a LOT! Husband took down the smoke alarm and hid it in a closet up stairs. He also opened the window in the sun room.
Again I envisioned discarding ruined sticky buns in a trash bag once they had cooled....GAH!!

Checked oven at 30 minutes and surprisingly enough the sticky buns looked done!
Turned off oven, closed window, replaced smoke alarm.

Turned out pretty good. Next time I highly recommend using HALF of the frozen rolls. Also the boned ham was very good. The stock pot in the back ground is processing the ham bone and other delicious bits for stock to be frozen and used later. Yummy! Envisioning taking HUMONGOUS Tupperware container to work filled with sticky buns.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Actually the sticky buns are going over better than I had estimated, may not have to take in big container. R
