Lemon Raspberry Sticky Buns


Happy Valentine's Day!

-or-

Happy Single's Awareness Day!

Lemon Raspberry Sticky Buns with a Cream Cheese Lemon Glaze.

That just sounds good to me, what about you? What about your sweetheart? Here's a little dessert that might get you out of the doghouse.

This recipe is a modification of my cinnamon roll recipe, which can be found here. I actually got the idea from Natalie who made these. I had never actually thought to swap out the brown sugar and cinnamon for something with a more tart flavor but it just seems to work. While the lemon rolls themselves looked tasty, I decided to add my own touch and throw in my go-to fruit: raspberries.

I ended up taking these to Bear's Lair and Kevin's Tailgate before a Cal game. Based on the way the dish was cleaned out I figured the raspberry add-in was a success. These are totally doable as a nice little treat for your Valentine. And if your single, well, these are a bit better than chalky conversation hearts.

The recipe awaits after the jump.

Cinnamon Rolls

Hello there loyal readers (all six of you)!

It has been a long time since I have posted. A very long time and I apologize for that. This past month has been pretty hectic: holidays, traveling, and being just plain busy. While that is no excuse, I hope to offer some entertainment and assistance with procrastination (of which I am more than happy to help with, especially as I have noticed that the peak traffic on this site occurs during normal business hours).

With that aside, I bring you a post on cinnamon rolls. Made by scratch. With cream cheese frosting that bears a slight resemblance to Cinnabon. Yum.

I actually made these for the UC Cannoneers during a pre-bonfire meeting. It was a rather entertaining opening conversation. They rolled in hungover to my place (Golf Party occurred the evening before and most of you know how that goes), and were about to ask if we could move the meeting to IHOP for some greasy goodness. I preempted their request with a query of my own: "Would you guys like cinnamon rolls?" Needless to say that was all she wrote.
