We did brunch this week instead of dinner. To celebrate autumn, we held a side-by-side taste test of sticky buns vs. cinnamon rolls - and the sticky buns took the crown 👑
Sticky Buns
I made this Sally’s Baking Addiction recipe - it was my first Sally recipe and the results were amazing. I’m excited to bake more of her recipes ⚡️
Cinnamon Rolls
I wanted to go with a classic here, so I went with King Arthur. Ultimately, there were too many (2) bespoke ingredients and it yielded a worse dough than the much simpler bun recipe. The rolls were drier and less fully. The frosting was good, but how can sugar be bad?
Eggs
Mark’s scrambled eggs. Fluffy perfection 👌🏻
Orange Juice & Apple Cider
Poured the juices into glass jars.
Fruit Platter
Berries and grapes - no magic here (outside the wavy serving platter), I just like berries and grapes.
Prosciutto Wrapped Melon
I specifically ordered from the deli counter here, thinking that would yield the most delicious, thinnest meat. Unfortunately, I was very wrong. The prosciutto was too thick for the application. Melon was tasty though. Despite poor execution, great brunch dish that you can prep ahead and looks way fancier than it is!
Bacon & Pork Sausage
These were both so good that we ate them before I took any photos 📸
