I’ve been chatting on other threads about English Chelsea Buns vs Canadian Chelsea Buns, and Sticky Buns vs Chelsea Buns, and Sticky Buns vs Schnecken.
My favourite sticky buns look like this:

Sticky buns are omnipresent here in PA Dutch country; I grew up on them. My mother didn’t like nuts in her baked goods, so we always had them without. At the farmers’ market I go to every Friday, they’re available from multiple vendors, and you can get plain, with nuts (always walnuts) and with raisins. Every farm store and country market has them as well, often made in-house.
Oddly, I’ve never made them myself. I have very little experience with yeasted doughs.

These are like Flour’s sticky buns (local bakery chain here in the Boston area). They are quite good, especially when warm and fresh out of the oven. They are known for their sticky buns, and I think the owner won a Bobby Flay throw down challenge when that show was still on.

Chelsea buns are my favourite. Just the right amount is sweet and very light. I make both kinds(I use Flour’s recipe for the sticky buns). I just don’t like a lot of sweet goop on buns.

I only just saw this. Mind sharing the recipe? Sounds like the right amount of sweetness (you don’t like sweet goop on baked goods).
Many decades ago I worked at a hospital when they did have working kitchens at hospitals, and every Friday morning they had fresh-baked Chelsea buns; they were wonderful! Believe me, I looked forward to Friday mornings!

Yes. That.
You can take that recommendation to the bank.

When I do my baking blitz of pülla for the holidays, I will also make some cardamom infused cinnamon rolls. My not so secret-secret, is to heat the ground cardamom into the scalded milk. St. Urho’s Day is coming up in about 2 months, I’ll make some then.

People around these parts (and the alumni dispersed all over the country) lose their GD minds over the sticky buns from the now defunct hole-in-the-wall Ye Olde College Diner.
My family is from that region, and I went to school near there…Juniata College is right down the road. I’ve eaten many a Ye Olde College Diner stickie…and still purchase them when I am there. When I make them myself I use Joanne Chang’s Flour sticky bun recipe. They are decadently sinful and her brioche dough just knocks them out of the park. It’s my go to recipe.

I had to look up St Urho’s Day. March 16th. Right before St Paddy’s and San Giuseppe Day is on March 19th.
