Not the tv/movie kind, the real life kind.

We went to the Philadelphia Flower Show yesterday, determined
that we'd have a cheese steak next door at Reading Terminal Market
before we headed home.

When you walk in, there are maybe three steps up. This
fact means you are immediately eye level with a bakery
display holding delicious looking and smelling sticky buns.
Everyone swooned.

Got the cheese steak (provolone for me), a couple pounds of
coffee, and on the way out, a package of those sticky buns,
you know it.

Between the coffee and the buns, you know what I had for
breakfast.

The best cheese steak sandwich I ever bought, was at the Reading
Terminal Market. When I go back, I will avoid the Amish corner that is
full of Whoopie Pies, pastries and hot, home made pretzels. Too yummy
for my diet!

They are losing their lease. Rick's cheese steaks? That's where
I ate.

That's the place! Right there in the corner. They should pay
extra for that spot. I saw the whoopie pies, too.

Since moving away from Philly some years ago, the only decent sticky buns I
get now are when I can get my wife to make them (maybe once a year). Used
to be every bakery in Philly made good ones with either raisins or nuts.

Funny you say that, the first package I picked up had raisins ...
I didn't notice until I was about to pay for them. Not expected.
I went back for the buns with nuts.

Raisin version is my favorite. Here is a recipe that was posted on this
newsgroup a few years ago. I lost the attribution though.



Philadelphia Cinnamon Buns



Yield: 14 Buns



Ingredients:



3 1/2 c Flour
1 TB Dry active yeast
1/4 c Tepid water


1/2 c Sugar (approx.)
1/2 Ts Salt
1 c Tepid milk
2 Egg yolks


6 TB Butter, melted
1 1/2 c Light brown sugar
1/2 c Light corn syrup
1/2 c Seedless raisins (I like More)
2 ts Cinnamon




Pour the tepid water into a bowl and sprinkle yeast and 1 tsp. sugar over
it.



Let stand for 2 – 3 minutes, then stir well. Set in warm place for 5
minutes to proof.


Combine 3 cups of the flour, 1/2 cup of sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the
yeast mixture, egg yolks and tepid milk.



With a large spoon, slowly mix the ingredients and continue to stir until
the dough is smooth and can be gathered in a ball. Place the ball on a
lightly floured surface and knead it.



As you knead, sprinkle flour over it by the spoon full adding up to 1/2 cup
more flour if necessary, to make a firm dough. Continue to knead for 10
minutes, or until the dough is smooth, shinny and elastic.



Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once. Drape the bowl with a
kitchen towel and put it in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled
in volume.



In a small bowl, mix 3/4 cup of the brown sugar, 2 TB melted butter and the
corn syrup to make a smooth paste. Pour the mixture into two 9 inch round
cake pans, tipping pans to spread it evenly.











In another bowl, mix remaining brown sugar, raisins and cinnamon until well
blended, set aside. Punch the dough down, and on a lightly floured surface,
roll it out into an 18 x 10 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush the
dough with 2 TB melted butter and sprinkle evenly with raisin-sugar mixture.

Starting at one long side, roll the dough tightly into a cylinder about 18
inches long and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Then, with a sharp knife, slice
the cylinder crosswise into 14 rounds about 11/4 inches thick. Place one
slice, cut side up, in the center of sugared cake pan, and arrange the
remaining slices in circles of 6 around each center slice. Set the buns in a
draft free place to rise for about 45 minutes or until double in volume.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush the tops of the buns with the remaining 2
TB melted butter and bake in center of oven for about 25 minutes or until
golden brown. Place a place over each cake pan, and invert. Let cinnamon
buns cool to luke warm before serving.


The most decadent cinnamon buns around!

Thanks! I will try these, soon. About the raisins, I have nothing
against them, but it was the nut variety that just about hit me in
the face when I walked in, I had to have those. Also, I don't really
think I have seen them with raisins before.

Appreciate the recipe.

Clever aren't they? Tonight I went walking on the beach, and on the way back to the
truck I cut through Belmont, which is a small amusement park in Mission Beach. I
noticed that at the ice cream stand the girl was making fresh waffle cones. Why did I
notice? Not because I could see, because at the point, from my angle, I really
couldn't. But the girl had a fan placed directly in front of the waffle maker
pointing out the window. You could smell that sweet scent for 50 yards

I LOVE (good) whoopie pies. The best ones I've ever had I got at the Reading
Terminal Market. The Amish know how to make 'em right.

And one of the worst cheesesteaks I've ever had I also got at the Reading
Terminal Market--at the Pat's Cheesesteaks there.

Sorry to hear that Rick's is losing their lease. Right now I would love
one of their sandwiches, but I will settle for a cheese steak omelet
instead.

There is only one "raisin toast" acceptable in the lamentable history
of "raisin toast" and that is *cinnamon* raisin toast as produced at
Waffle Houses across (mostly) the southern US. Sadly, the closest
Waffle House to me is roughly 350 miles away in Phoenix. <sigh> The
delicious-ity of those cinnamon raisin toasts is a Guilty Pleasure
from childhood. The last time I had one was a few years ago in nothern
Florida <sniff!>

And whatever happened to Toddle Houses? We had one near us when I was
a wee girl in Tampa FL, when I learned to love synthetic chocolate
cream pie...until I tasted *real* chocolate cream pie.

The only cinnamon raisin toast I've ever known about is toasted
cinnamon raisin bread.... toasted in my own toaster. I had no idea
this was considered a restaurant breakfast treat!

Used to have that outta the toaster at home when I was a yoot. Good, but
certainly common. I was not aware it was or would be associated with some
chain.

We love Waffle House's raisin toast, and pecan waffles "well done" and
crispy. The closest one is about 3 miles from my house.

> And whatever happened to Toddle Houses? We had one near us when I was
> a wee girl in Tampa FL, when I learned to love synthetic chocolate

We lived in Memphis for a spell when I was growing up. I loved Toddle
House's chocolate cream pie, and it was sometimes a forbidden treat in a
stolen moment on the bike ride home from school. Years later we found one
lone Toddle House in Memphis. The restaurant and the pie had changed, and
the pie was horible.

If you like chocolate cream pie (who doesn't), then you must try this one.
I think it's the best I've ever had. Be sure and cook the filling until it
is thick enough to stand a spoon up in it. :-)

Ghirardelli Chocolate Cream Pie

Recipe By : Adapted by Wayne Boatwright
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Pies, Desserts

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups Milk
1 1/2 cups Half and Half
6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 cup Ghirardelli Ground Chocolate -- + 2 Tablespoons
6 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
6 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Pinch Salt
5 Egg Yolks
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
9 inch Baked Pie Shell
1/2 pint Heavy Cream
2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 Semisweet Chocolate Square

TRADITIONAL METHOD:

In double boiler, scald milk and half & half with butter. Blend Ground
Chocolate with sugar, cornstarch and salt. Using a wire whip, beat
chocolate mixture into hot milk. Stir constantly for 5 minutes, or until
filling begins to thicken. Mix a small amount of hot filling with egg
yolks, then pour yolks into filling. Continue cooking a few minutes,
stirring, until thick enough to hold a firm shape. Add vanilla. Pour into
baked pie shell. Chill several hours or overnight.

MICROWAVE METHOD:

In microwave at power level 6 or 7 (60-70% power), in 2-quart casserole,
scald milk and half & half with butter. Blend Ground Chocolate with sugar,
cornstarch and salt. Using a wire whisk, beat chocolate mixture into hot
milk. In a small bowl beat egg yolks until light, then beat into milk and
chocolate mixture. Continue cooking at power level 6 or 7 for approximately
8 minutes, beating thoroughly after each minute, or until thick enough to
hold a firm shape. Add vanilla, beating thoroughly. Pour into baked pie
shell. Chill several hours or overnight.

In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, beat heavy cream with sugar until
very stiff. Spread over chocolate filling.

Using a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, make chocolate curls with
chocolate square and scatter over whipped cream.

Description:
"Adapted from Ghirardelli Original Chocolate Cookbook"
Yield:
"1 Pie"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
NOTES :
There is no substitute for the Ghirardelli Ground Chocolate, and this pie
cannot be made successfully with cocoa.

It is very important to stir filling frequently while cooking, especially
near end of cooking. If the filling should become lumpy, quickly press
through fine sieve before pouring into pie shell.

You've probably never been to a Waffle House. :-)

I'm getting the picture that Waffle Houses are dives, but when Rob and I
were in Tucson a few years ago we were near one and enjoyed good service
and edible breakfasts a couple times. They didn't lack for customers,
either. (Maybe because there were 2-4 motels within walking distance.)
I had grits. :-)

No moreso than places like White Castle, Royal Castle, the "old" Toddle
House, etc. Depends largely on the location. The one near us is really
very nice. There is only one motel nearby, but there are numerous snowbird
parks in the area.
