You can probably tell from the photo that my sticky buns aren't quite as 'sticky' as they should be. That's because I could feel my arteries clogging just reading this week's recipes and decided to cut the butter somewhat.
I made the brioche but didn't laminate it and I used just a tablespoon of butter in the topping for each tray of buns. The results were absolutely delicious so I can only imagine how amazing the original version would have been!
I've never made brioche before and was really pleased with how it turned out. I'm already planning on making more and turning it into french toast one weekend. Yum!
Overall these were wonderful. I don't regret cutting the butter out because now I don't feel so guilty sneaking one for afternoon tea :)
Our hosts this week are Lynn of Eat Drink Man Woman Dogs Cat and Nicole of Cookies on Friday. They'll have the recipes up and you can decide whether I made the right decision to go low(er) fat with these!
They look wonderful! I passed on this recipe because of the amount of butter; so soon after the last recipe with a ton of butter!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, they do look beautiful - surely more elegant that with all that sticky coating.
ReplyDeleteI did not like the gooey part of it (please forgive me!)
I've "decimated" and replaced the butter and were still fine.

They look brilliant. I must say I loved the sticky topping but I agree, I can feel it already attaching to my thighs and I only had a couple!
ReplyDeleteLets just say that I've been very regular with my workouts ever since I made these buns!! :) but i really enjoyed them... yours look great.. and very neat if i might add!!
ReplyDeleteThey do look lovely. I too begged off on the sticky coating.... Now wondering whether I missed anything... hahah.
ReplyDeleteI about died with the amount of butter used in this recipe! Your buns look great:)
ReplyDeleteYour Sticky Buns look so lovely! I think mastering the brioche was more important then how much sugar you added to your pan, and you certainly did that! Nice Job!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for not using all the butter. And the fact that they tasted great is such a bonus. Congrats! They look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI flinched at the amount of butter in the pan and scooped some out so mine weren't as sticky either. They were still tasty, though. I loved the brioche dough and agree that it would make delicious French toast.
ReplyDeleteI also was worried about the amount of butter in these but I have to say the end result was delicious!! Good for you adapting your recipe :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea on cutting the butter!
ReplyDeletethese are lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice that you were able to have good results with less butter.
The brioche is good by itself, so all the rest is just extra. They look good!
ReplyDeleteCutting the butter and ending up with beautiful rolls....makes me want to try these again your way!
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people cut the amount of butter but I just went for it and it was delicious! Yours look excellent and I bet they were delicious!
ReplyDeletei cut back on the butter, too, and felt a lot better about making them.
