Dear Jon and all,
I love your rants. They're so educational. Not like my rants!
Mine go something like this:
You kids, cut that out. Kid, (name omitted here), what are you playing with.
kid confesses. Miss Golden reaches for the offending toy, usually a pen or a
mechanical pencil. I slip offending article inside my desk. I say: Why, you be
sure to pick that up when class is over. We all have a little chuckle and go
forward.
Year 27 for the school and for me begins next Monday. Retire? What's that! I'm
70 now, and if health and mind hold, I may as well put in another year. I'm
only doing four courses in the fall, three in the springtime.
Next email, I'll post the granola recipe I used. It turned out very nicely.
Best, Pen
PS Hug kiddies for me, Jon. And someone has a set of twins. You can hug those
for me, too! My twin brother and I
had a good talk Sunday evening for our 70th birthday. Each morning, now, I'm
making smoothies from homegrown tomatoes, vitamin and mineral powder, a little
protein powder; a little green tea, a little basil, a little lemon-pepper.
Whizz, whizz. I usually have to thin them down with water. Boy, are they great!

Subject: [blcooks] Re: Cinnamon rolls-Buttermilk Cake With Caramel Frosting
This looks like a delicious recipe, and one I'm willing to try in the near
future. I only have one small issue with it. There is a widespread
misconseption that any recipe that calls for melted brown sugar can be
referred to as a caramel. It's not. Caramel is when white sugar, sometimes
with corn syrup or glucose added, is cooked to at least 340 degrees, until
it turns to a brown or redish-brown color and the flavor entirely changes.
Butter, milk, cream, or even additional water can be added for the purposes
of making a sauce, but the essential caramel is there providing the flavor
and color. Brown sugar cannot be cooked to such a high temperature because
the impurities that make brown sugar what it is will burn long before the
sugar reaches such a high temperature. Don't get me wrong'''x's delicious,
and sweet treats made with melted or cooked brown sugar certainly have a
place in our kitchens and on our tables. They just can't rightly be called
caramel. End of rant.
Jon

Buttermilk Cake with Caramel Icing Recipe
So moist and tender, this cake melts in your mouth! It's been a favorite
cake recipe of my family since the 1970s and goes over really well at church
potluck meals and bake sales. comAnna Jean Allen, West Liberty, Kentucky
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. Bake: 45 min. + cooling YIELDCC16 servings
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
2-a/3 cups sugar
1-a/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
ICING:
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350dg. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan.
2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and eggs,
one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk
together flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture
alternately with buttermilk (batter will be thick). Transfer to prepared
pan.
3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes.
Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. For icing, in a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar and cream;
bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat;
cool 5-10 minutes. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar; spoon over cake.
Yield: 16 servings.
Recipe Note
Editor's Note: To remove cakes easily, use solid shortening to grease plain
and fluted tube pans.

Oh please, both of you, please please share. The cake and the cinnamon
rolls sound wonderful.
I don't think I put my Limoncello Cake recipe on this list, but I can share
that one also.

Hey, Jon!
I want those cinnamon rolls! I want 'em! If Dani and I pay you for the
recipe, may we have it? (smile!) Seriously, they sound divine, and if you
would be ever so kind as to share your recipe, I'll share mine for
buttermilk cake with caramel frosting! (I'll probably share it anyway.)
Cheers!
Susan

Dani:
You are operating under the assumption that I am a nice guy and would
be willing to share the best of my baked goods. You would be incorrect.
I'm really not a very nice guy to most people. Why would I want to share
something so wonderful and so perfect? LOL'''SERIOUSLY though, we did walk
to a neighbor's house last night to share some of the rolls with them as
there's no way we could eat them all. These rolls are very rich, with two
sticks of butter and four eggs in the dough, and that's before they're
filled I really like this recipe because there is so much cinnamon filling
on the inside, but mostly because the rolls are not sickeningly-sweet as so
many other cinnamon rolls are. These rolls are glazed with a simple flat
icing, not iced with a cream cheese frosting. I also use dark brown sugar
in the filling as I think it tastes even better than light. The one thing I
would change is how large the rolls are. This recipe makes 12 enormous
rolls, but I plan to scale that to 16 next time. I'll post the recipe when
and if I have the time today.

@Jon,
You made cinnamon rolls, and you didn't invite me??? ininlol* Was it the usual
butter-brown-sugar-cinnamon filling, or a variation?
Can you share the recipe, please. That's the next best thing to storming
your house and eating the leftovers.
More Later,
Dani

This sounds really yummy.
How much cream cheese do we need? I know it says 2 pkgs, but what's
the net weight on the pkgs?
Thanks,
Dani, pondering having this with chili and homemade tortilla chips
