I am looking for a sticky bun recipe that I believe was called "Valerie Gray's Sticky Buns".

It appeared on the old Gail's Swap. Very good recipe--gave a great sticky bun.

Thanks,

I swear I posted, but it got lost in cyberspace.. the epi search is being very slow. Do you remember

if it had any key ingredients? This one, in response to "Laurie" sounds easy and different:

Christmas Morning Sticky Buns From Southern Living
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 (25-ounce) package frozen roll dough, thawed
1 (3.4-ounce) package butterscotch instant pudding mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Sprinkle pecans in the bottom of a buttered 12-cup Bundt pan. Arrange dough in pan; sprinkle with dry pudding mix. Stir together butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon; pour over rolls. Cover and chill 8 hours.

Bake at 3500 for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Invert onto a serving plate, and serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings Southern Living, NOVEMBER 1997

 
This recipe (at Marilyn's link) was reviewed by a Valerie with the following changes...

One packet of yeast contains 2-1/4 tsp. This recipe calls for 2-1/2 tsp. I just used one packet and it worked out fine. I used my Kitchenaid stand mixer instead of kneading by hand.

I was concerned on the first rise because it didn't really rise much but I went ahead and rolled the dough out and it was beautiful! After slicing and placing in the pans they rose really well and were practically popping out of the pan. I almost rated 4 stars because there is NOT enough sticky stuff in the bottom of the pan to properly coat the rolls so you really need to increase by 1-1/2 or 2 times the butter/sugar mix.

I'd be concerned it would bubble over if you doubled it though so you might want to put foil under the pans while baking. Next time I will also increase the sugar/cinnamon in the center. I'm still rating 5 stars because the dough is just so wonderful. I think the buttermilk makes them so silky. I will definitely make again with changes.

 
Even stranger, there is a cookbook entitled "Great Coffee Cakes, Sticky Buns, Muffins & More" and

there is a review by Laura Stokes-Gray of a book by the same author of the above book.

"Another wonderful book from Carole Walter, January 3, 2008 by Cookbook Gal - It would be difficult to expound on Laura Stokes-Gray "Cookbook Lover's" comprehensive..."

Could it be a recipe in one of those books?
