THIS BUNDT...IS A HOME RUN!

Fall is in the air! The leaves are turning red and gold, falling from the trees, and with the nippy winds at their heels, are blowing over yards and down streets! Fragrant fireplace smoke is in the air, catalogs are arriving daily advertising smoked bacon and hams. Even I find myself writing posts about "Tomato Preserves" and "Quilts," (coming soon!)

So why not a post on one of the great Paula Deen's best recipes: a "Caramel Coffee Cake?" This may seem to be a strange post coming from a baker who gave up baking in an earlier post (see "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Oven.")

The fact is--I can no longer stifle myself.This recipe is unsurpassed. Now, first let me say that at our house "management" controls the portions, and management does not always realize the needs of a "growing boy"--so to speak. I get three of these awesome little rolls, but often my bod hankers for four or more. So I have decided to come out of retirement as a baker, purchase my own bundt pan, and MAKE MY OWN---and have CONTROL.

Now what you have all been waiting for, the recipe:
1. Get a good BUNDT pan and spray with Pam.
2. The night before, late, place in pan 15/16 these little frozen Rhodes dinner rolls; they look like golf balls.
3. Sprinkle over rolls 1 small pkg. Butterscotch Pudding, not instant, repeat--NOT instant.
4. Sprinkle over that 1/2 cup packed brown sugar.
5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
6. Pour over this one stick of unsalted butter, melted and cooled.
7. Cover with a sheet of "Pammed" plastic wrap.
8. Let rise overnight.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
10. Let cool 10 or 15 minutes; then loosen edges and center of pan with knife.
11. Turn carefully over onto cake plate; let set for a few minutes for juices to run onto cake.
12. To serve, pull apart with fork into individual rolls.
13. Yum-Yum!!

Note, some stores do not seem to stock regular Butterscotch Pudding, only instant. So when you find it, get a whole case. LOL.

Ignoring this recipe is a big mistake, trust me. Call me when yours is ready and I'll drop by and do a free taste test for you. (Decaf, please.) Also why not submit your favorite Fall Recipe to Mil?! (Oh, and four please.)
