"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |
Food, one assumes, provides nourishment; but Americans eat it fully aware that small amounts of poison have been added to improve its appearance and delay its putrefaction. |

To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a "home" might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation. |

FOR DOUGH: In a small bowl, stir the yeast with the warm water. Set
aside until bubbly.
Heat milk, sugar, salt, and butter together until butter melts. Pour
into a large bowl to cool to lukewarm. Add yeast to the cooled milk
mixture. Add eggs and 2 cups of the flour and beat well by hand,
about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups flour, one cup at a time,
beating well until soft and smooth and should pull cleanly away from
the sides of the bowl.
Turn into a buttered bowl, then generously butter the surface of the
dough with the softened butter, top and bottom. Cover with plastic
wrap. Refrigerate as little as 2 hours, or overnight, or up to 3
days. Dough will rise in refrigerator. It will be ready for rolling
and shaping the next morning.
FOR SYRUP: Bring water, butter, orange zest, orange juice, and sugar
to a boil and simmer 10 minutes.
TO ASSEMBLE BUNS: Simmer raisins in water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Grease 2 9-inch round cake pans. Pour syrup equally into pans.
Mix 1 tablespoon sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
Set our 4 small bowls to hold an assembly line of the softened butter,
sugar-cinnamon mixture, pecans, and drained raisins.
Divide dough in half. Place first section on a surface lightly
sprinkled with flour and roll it into a 10- by 12-inch rectangle.
Spread surface with half the butter, then sprinkle with half the
cinnamon-sugar, pecans, and raisins. Roll up from long side into a
snug log. With a sharp knife, cut into 8 sections. Place spirals, cut
sides down, into the syrup in one of the pans, placing 1 spiral in
the center and 7 around. Repeat with remaining dough and second pan.
Cover buns with a cloth and let rise 1 hour. After 40 minutes,
preheat oven to 375'F.
Bake buns 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and immediately invert onto a rack
with waxed paper underneath to catch drips. Let cool 10 minutes
before icing with the glaze.
FOR THE GLAZE: Do not mix until ready to use. With a fork, mix sugar
and cream until smooth. Pour over buns.
