Helms Bakery in Los Angeles?

Question

In the early 50"s Helms made a breakfast roll that looked flat and round like a pizza. It was topped with a thick syrup and pecans. I would like to find the recepe for this if possible.

Answer 1

I believe this is what you're looking for. This calls for a mass rectangular shape but it'll work free-handing also, Yellow truck not included:

Cinnamon-Pecan Crisps

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, slightly melted
1 large egg, separated
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Cream sugar and butter. Add egg yolk. Beat well. Whisk the cinnamon into the flour and add to sugar/butter/egg mixture. Press dough in bowl until it holds together. Carefully spread out and press into a rectangle on ungreased cookie sheet. (14 in. x 9 in.) Beat egg white slightly and brush on cookie dough. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 275 degrees for 230 to 40 minutes--until lightly browned. Remove cookie sheet from oven, and cut rectangle lengthwise into 3 or 4 strips. Then cut each strip crosswise into 1 in. wide pieces. Remove the pieces from cookie sheet to cool. Make about 42 "crisps." Tip: Place a sheet of waxed paper over the dough on cookie sheet, and use a rolling pin. It’s easier to get the dough thin and even.

Answer 2

I know what you are talking about as I too miss those. Too bad Helm's closed up in 1969. They had some of the best foods around.
I've searched high & low and can't find anything close to it. Sorry, Steve, it's not the one.

The link below will take you to the only refernce to Helm's I could find. Perhaps you could post the request there as well.
