There are so many great holidays – but this one just seems to sound so yummy and delicious. Saturday is actually Sticky Bun Day! And, since all of us live so close to Philadelphia – it’s interesting to learn that the origin of sticky buns happened right here in Pennsylvania.

 

Sticky buns – they aren’t good for you at all but they taste wonderful (although most things that aren’t good for you taste great!). During the 18^th century, the Pennsylvania Dutch created a “schnecken”, which was essentially the original sticky bun. It consisted of a sweetened yeast dough which was rolled in layers of brown sugar, cinnamon and drizzled with maple syrup.

 

 

Prior to the 18^th century, ancient Egyptians would add honey and nuts to their bread – which could be the very beginning to the sticky bun craving all of us have today!

 

 

So, now that you’re hungry, spend this coming Saturday, February 21^st, enjoying some sticky buns. You can either bake them yourself, or visit one of our many local bakeries to take part in this delicious holiday. A very popular bakery which is well-known for homemade sticky buns, is Fritz’s Bakery located in Langhorne.
