Easy Sticky Cinnamon Buns - 2011 Recipe
1 Package frozen Dinner Roll Dough (use 12 portions)
1 1/2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 small package of Cook-type Vanilla pudding mix (not instant pudding)
1 stick butter, melted
2 cups PECAN SHED PECAN PIECES
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
In a bowl, mix dry pudding mix with brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. In a greased 11x14 baking pan, cover the bottom with all the pecans. Lay the individual balls of frozen roll dough evenly over the pecans. Leave some space between the dough balls. Sprinkle the dry pudding mixture evenly over the frozen dough, making sure to get between all the spaces. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire pan, cover with foil or plastic wrap coated with cooking spray to keep it from sticking to dough while rising. Set in cold oven overnight for the dough to rise. The next morning, uncover the pan. Place back in the cold oven and bake at 400 degrees until the tops are golden, about 15-20 minutes. Take rolls out of oven and immediately turn the pan over onto a prepared surface (foil or a heat resistant tray). Serve immediately.
These are GREAT for the holidays, as you prepare the night before and simply bake the next morning. In addition, your house smells like warm cinnamon buns.

Pecan Festival
Tomorrow will be the annual Pecan Festival in Charlie, TX. It will be held at the Charlie Community Center at 1pm. Dad will be the guest speaker. He will talk about drought issues, the global market, and a host of other topics. Since becoming the Texas Pecan Growers Association President, Dad has learned a great deal more about the pecan industry, growers, and where new opportunities now exist for marketing pecans.
At the festival there will be a benefit auction. All the proceeds will go to the Charlie-Thornberry Volunteer Fired Department...and after this summer they sure do need all the help they can get! Items being auctioned off include pies, cakes, candies, crafts, and more! North Clay County has some of the best cooks in the state, so any food items will be well worth the cost!!! In fact, if you can get Barbara Mayo's fudge for under $100 you have got yourself a steal!
There will also be contests at the festival. Some of the games include a pecan pitching contest and a pecan shelling contest. First prize will be bragging rights for an entire year!
For more information, contact Delores Tucker at 940-544-2455. If you would like to go to Charlie tomorrow, the easiest way to get there from Wichita Falls is to take Hwy 79 North to Petrolia. At the blinking like in Petrolia, turn left heading north on FM 810. Follow that all the way to the little farming community of Charlie. There will be a four-way stop to welcome you to Charlie. Go straight. The Charlie Community Center is down about a half mile on the left.
I remember some fun times from when I was little and went to the Pecan Festival. My grandma, Wanda Montz, and her sister, Bernice Burnham (Aunt BeBe), would always make lots of pies and sweet treats. Then I would give it my best in the pecan pick up contest...I don't think I ever officially won, but somehow my name always got mentioned over the loud speaker. I never did compete in the pecan shelling contest though...those people took it very seriously...still do to this day!

We do have the right to refuse any pecans for any reason.

Cheyenne pecans are light in color and are really good for baking. Some people think they have a "sweet" taste to them. They are great for pies, pralines, cookies, and all sorts of other tasty treats!
