Question

she called it stickies. a pastry and then a sugar mixture spread on it and then rolled up. sliced and cooked. the pastry had flour, crisco and milk (like basic bisquits) then 2 sticks butter, 5 cups sugar and powder cocoa - 2 tblspoon (- or +) creme sugar and butter then spread on dough, roll up and then slice and lay in 9 x 13 pan i think she cooked on 500 or that was what i found written down. she said she had these as a little girl but they were vanilla and she made them chocolate. i have tried so many times and i think the 500 is too high. it's like u have to cook fast to melt the sugar but then it burns. has anyone heard of this recipe? and does anyone have any suggestions to make it come out right. hers were always soft and melted. they did harden some when cool. our whole family loves them and i would love to give them this memory! any help appreciated thank u!

Answer 1

Chocolate Quickie Stickies

Heat oven to 350°F.
Melt 6 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over low heat; add brown sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until mixture comes to boil.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Spoon about 1 teaspoonful chocolate mixture into each of 48 small muffin cups (1 3/4-inches in diameter).
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon nuts, if desired, into each cup; set aside.
Unroll dough; separate into 8 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; brush over rectangles.
Stir together granulated sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon cocoa; sprinkle over all rectangles. Starting at longer side, roll up each rectangle; pinch seams to seal. Cut each roll into 6 equal pieces. Press gently into prepared pans, cut-side down.
Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until light brown. Remove from oven; cool 30 seconds. Invert onto cookie sheet. Let stand 1 minute; remove pans. Serve warm or cool completely.

Answer 2

I think your oven is too hot at 500 F. Try it at 400 F.

These aren't chocolate, but they are good.

Answer 3

This recipe is very confusing especially the five cups of sugar. I want to assume that this is an
old Danish pecipe or it is one your mothers
mother put together herself. If your grandmother was danish that would explain a lot. why don't you mix up a 3 cup flour biscuit dough roll it to about 12 in. wide and 1/4 in. thick and as long as you have dough for. soften 2 stick butter very soft but not melted spread to cover the rolled dough mix 1 cup sugar and 2 table spoons cocoa sprinkle evenly on butter do not forget leave the bottom edge of dough clean at least 1/4 in.wash that clean
1/4 in. with milk or water starting at the top left hand corner roll the dough in to a log push rolled log from end to center untill it is the size you like slice the log in to the size you want about 1inch 0r 1-1/4 in. place on a greased pan
mash down lightly on each roll wash with
melted butter bake at 375*F for 20 to 25 min.
ps. you might add an extra tea spoon baking powder. good luck and happy baking jim b

Rachel's Famous Home-Made Biscuits and Stickies
Recipe #149482
My husband and my brother-in-law alerted me that this recipe was not included in Miss Rachel's Heirloom Recipes. I had to fix that right away! My brother-in-law says that these biscuits and stickies were served on special occasions when he and his brothers were growing up, such as times when they left for college or went on trips. He also says that Rachel learned how to make these biscuits and stickies from watching her mother, who must have learned from HER mother, and so on.

14 biscuits 33 min 20 min prep
Change to: biscuits US Metric
2 cups self-rising flour
7 tablespoons Crisco shortening (r)
3/4 cup milk (Rachel recommends a little less than 3/4 cup)
1/2-3/4 cup butter or margarine
2-3 teaspoons sugar
1-2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

< 60 mins Rolls/Biscuits
Place the flour and shortening in a large bowl.
Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingers, mix the flour and shortening into pea-sized morsels.
Add the milk to the flour and shortening mixture and combine, using a fork. Mix a minimum number of strokes, or for for about 15 seconds.
Place the dough onto a hard surface sprinkled liberally with flour.
Using floured hands, knead the dough a few times. Do not over-knead.
Sprinkle the dough with flour and, using a rolling pin, roll it out to the desired thickness, thin for crispy biscuits and thick for more doughy biscuits.
Use a cookie cutter cut out the biscuits and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Leave a 1 1/2" margin near the edges of the pan on which to place the stickies. Keep the cookie cutter well-coated with flour to prevent sticking.
To make stickies, ball up remaning dough left from biscuit cutting. Sprinkle with flour and roll into a very thin layer.
Turn the dough over, flour it again, and roll it again. The resulting dough will be flatter and wider than the biscuit dough, about 13"-15" in diameter.
Place triangles of butter or margarine 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on the dough.
Sprinkle dough with sugar. Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of the sugar.
Roll up the dough jelly roll style and cut it into 3/4" slices.
Place the stickies in the empty space around the edges of the cookie sheet.
Bake at 450* for 12 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

Answer 5

i've never heard that recipe before. but, i red ur details. i think u should reduce butter a bit. it makes solf and melted the dough. about the 500 degrees, its too high indeed. if u wanna melted the sugar, 350-400 degree is enough. or u can turn it on first to 500 degrees than after u put it on the oven, u should lower the heat. and normally there's 2 modul fire in the oven. lower fire and upper fire. for melted the sugar, at first u should used only the lower fire. than after its melted, u turn of the lower fire then change it to the upper fire. i hope its helping u. gud luck and best regards for ur family.

Answer 6

I in simple terms mentioned to my brother, that on a similar time as my mom became right into a great mom there are some issues approximately her that i'm hoping i do no longer do as a mom to my very own daughter while she is older. i think of if we are responsive to the failings we did no longer opt for to take from our father and mom we are in a position to realize no longer being like our father and mom.
