Julia Child would be 100 years old today. It's amazing to think what a difference she made (and continues to make) in the world--at least in this part of it (tho I suspect she has fans and followers all over the place). I know I owe her a lot, not the least of which is introducing me to Nancy Silverton's Brioche recipe, on TV and in "Baking with Julia." I've been making it now for years--though mostly just for special occasions. It's the richest brioche I know. And the Pecan Sticky Buns are an extraordinary extravagance--Julia at her buttery best.
I made the brioche dough to celebrate her centennial. I started the dough yesterday afternoon and took the finished products out of the oven early this morning.
I made small tetes, several small loaves and then a full batch of the amazing Pecan Sticky Buns.
I was lucky to get in a picture before they disappeared.
We'll be doing more Julia-celebrating later today.
Thanks for leaving a comment over on my blog. I am your newest follower and a huge Julia Child fan! Your sticky buns look awesome!
