The Posse Hideout

[Drottwiler]

We have 2 in each ones 22 to 24 miles. But on the rare occasion we go its the Lebanon one.

 

[FlyingV]

I'll have to see where the next closest one is.

 

[FlyingV]

53.9 miles, that's a nope.

Low end steakhouses are apparently closing all over the place according to an article I read. It’s a combination of higher beef prices and young people simply being less interested in steak

 

[Puffythegun]

Can Houseblend still be made or is it gone forever too?

That sucks. We don't go very often because I eat too much when I do go but it is nice to have that option. I still remember your pics of fried chicken that went through the chocolate fountain.

 

[Drottwiler]

I wouldn't go there for steak. But they have Somethings that are really good and others that are so so.

 

[Drottwiler]

Shot # 3 and last one is today. # 2 wasn't good Could hardly walk for a few days. I think she missed the joint.

Hopefully this one helps Drott. *fingers crossed*

And good morning! We have to go close the camper today, they just sent me a text that they turned off the water last night, but will turn it on so we can finish at noon. We should have done ours yesterday and moved the neighbor today. Off we go to play with water in 30 degree weather. ugh.

Caramel-Apple Cinnamon Buns

At a Glance
Prep
30 mins. to 40 mins.
Bake
20 mins. to 25 mins.
Total
3 hrs 30 mins. to 4 hrs 45 mins.
Yield
Yield: 12 buns.

This recipe is a great new twist on cinnamon buns. The apple and caramel mirror the flavors found in one of our favorite autumn treats, caramel apples. These buns are best served warm; so if you have to wait awhile before sharing, gently reheat in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Dough

• 3 1/4 cups Pastry Flour Blend or King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup potato flour or 1/2 cup dried potato flakes
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon Buttery Sweet Dough Flavor or vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup lukewarm milk

Filling

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons Instant ClearJel or King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup peeled, grated apple (1 to 2 large apples)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional

• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (see tip, below)

Directions

1. To make the dough: Mix and knead all the ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
2. Cover the dough, and let it rest for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until doubled in bulk.
3. To make the filling: Combine the sugar, ClearJel, and cinnamon.
4. Toss the apples with the lemon juice; combine them with the sugar mixture.
5. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased work surface. Roll it into a 12" x 24" rectangle.
6. Spread with the filling, and top with walnuts.
7. Starting with a long side, roll the dough into a log and seal the edge.
8. Cut 12 equal slices; place them cut-side up in standard muffin cups lined with lightly greased baking papers.
9. Cover the buns and let them rise until puffy, 60 to 90 minutes. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.
10. Bake the buns for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned.
11. Remove the buns from the oven. Cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle with caramel sauce.
12. Yield: 12 buns.

Tips from our bakers

• Our Salted Caramel Sauce is a wonderful complement to these buns.
