The reason I went to a compound butter for cinnamon rolls is that you spread it on and very little leaks out.
I don't know if it is possible to do something similar with a little neutral oil instead of butter. Might be worth a small experiment. Sometimes I make a small batch of cinnamon rolls, just 4 rolls in the batch.
Aside from muffin tins, I do not use non-stick pans in the oven and not very often on the stove. (My muffin tins are ceramic coated and so far the coating seems pretty secure.)

I stopped making pumpkin pie several years ago, now I do sweet potato pie. Pretty much the same recipe and spice profile but without the taste of pumpkin, which I'm not fond of.
I know some bakeries do their cinnamon rolls on silpats, but personally I find if I slather butter and brown sugar on the pan before putting the rolls on it, you get a nice butterscotch glaze on the bottoms, making them more like sticky rolls.
If you decant the entire pan onto another sheet pan while it's still warm, most of the glaze will come out.
I think it'll be another week before we get the fruit fly population under control enough for me to do much baking, and I will need to get some apple cider, but it's the season for it.
The apple orchard I usually get winesaps at doesn't have any again this year. They suffered a lot of damage to their trees in a 2022 storm and the winesaps need at least another year. There might be some in Nebraska City, but that's 50 miles away and their u-pick hours are limited to weekends.
Yeah, I tried to put up a 'down for maintenance' intercept, that wasn't working right, either. :sigh:

Picked too early?
Do they ripen bananas in ethylene gas? Maybe these didn't get the gas.

September 25, 2023 at 6:04 pm in reply to: What are you Cooking the Week of September 24, 2023? #40460I'm having mac and cheese, Diane is having oatmeal, both mild dishes.
It appears fruit flies really like the smell of bread dough, probably the fermentation odors.
They also like my rye and wheat sourdough starters, I've had to start double-covering them.
They don't seem nearly as interested in bread after it has baked.
September 24, 2023 at 6:42 pm in reply to: What are you Baking the Week of September 24, 2023? #40453I remember looking at the index of that book and not seeing a lot of recipes that sounded interesting to me, I'll be interested to find out which ones you try and how you like them.
