I have some news.
No, I am not writing a cookbook (I wish!) and no I am not getting married (only twenty, although my mom was married at eighteen).
Nope, yesterday my mixer broke.
I almost cried. I can’t live without my Kitchen Aid Mixer!
Especially, since I had big plans of dough making all day long.
Yeah, well that dough, did not happen.
What did happen was I called in my dad, who lately has been Mister Fix-it.
Oh, I had high hopes. I mean, he has brought lamps, heaters and chairs back from the dead. He even my re-did a topper for my brother’s truck, complete with a new plexiglass window and a lock!. Surely he could fix my mixer.
You guys, all he gave was more bad new.
Dad: “Well Tieg, I think I can fix it.”
Me: Yes, yes, yes! Literally, I jumped for joy.
Dad: “But I have to order parts and it’s probably going to take a while, so I would just buy a new one and then you will have two.”
Me: What???
See, this may not seem like a huge deal, but I am as cheap as they come and I just bought a crazy expensive new camera… and lens, that I am in the midst of trying to figure out (someone send help!).
And well, other things to go with the camera, and more things for the blog, and just too much for my brain to comprehend.
Ugh.
I kind of hate seeing my money go out the door. Oh, and the responsibilities of being an adult.
Anyway, it is prime time baking season and I have no mixer.
So you guys can totally say good-bye to all the Christmas cookies, cakes and cinnamon rolls.
It’s just not going to happen this year.
Ya Right.
I totally bought this one last night on Amazon. It’ll be here Wednesday. Free two-day shipping, thank God for Amazon. Especially up here where I live. I mean it’s not like I can just run out somewhere up here and go buy a new mixer. We do have a Target, but they won’t carry the big Pro 600.
Now I can make all the sticky buns in the world.
YES!
Although you can actually knead this dough by hand if your do not have mixer, surprisingly it is not that hard and sometimes I like hand kneading the dough. It is kind of relaxing. But I am a little weird.
These buns. They are really sticky and delicious. The dough is super soft and moist due to the mixture of milk, butter and greek yogurt. It is my all time favorite dough. And then the butterscotch. Oh man, the butterscotch is the best addition to sticky buns ever. Especially, if you add some chocolate chunks in there.
Oh yeah, I have so done that. It’s crazy good.
But since I was going for the breakfast theme, I decided to leave the chocolate out. Obviously, you can be super cool and add some. Either way, these sticky buns are the best because not only are they soft and doughy, but they are sweet and sticky and the dough could not be easier to work with. Oh, and the smell… Holy Moly, they smell amazing.
AND there is vanilla salt. Wow, this is so good. I am going to tell you all about it this weekend. It’s super easy to make and I now want to sprinkle it over pretty much everything. It’s vanilla-y salt!
Self control around them is clearly impossible. Be careful.

Oh and they are GIANT. You are welcome.
Just so you know, getting married is an excellent way to get all new fancy kitchen stuff without spending a dime – I’m in the throes of engagement now and my kitchen has never been more stocked!!
Also, these look incredible!!! Salted butterscotch?! I die.
Ahh! Lucky you! Seriously, that is awesome. Now I need Mr. Right…
Thanks Christine! 🙂
Sorry about your mixer! Amazon to the rescue! These look absolutely incredible and such beautiful pictures.
Thanks Chelsea!
I have that same mixer, it’s awesome. I know, I have an issue spending my money too. I just want to hoard it all!!! I bought a new camera a couple months back and it almost killed me. Oh what we do for food blogging!
Hah! You sound just like me or I sound just like you!
Thanks Mallory!
When you were all, “no cookies or buns for you because my mixer broke,” I was all, “awwwww 🙁 ” and when you were like, “juuuuust kidding, I got a new mixer,” I was like, “yaaaaaay!!” There’s nothing worse in a food blogger’s like than an appliance breaking, so I’m glad you got the problem fixed. These buns are messing with my head. If you tell me something is giant, I am 200% going to want to pounce on it. SO good!
LOL! Thanks Julia! You comment totally made me smile! 🙂
Vanilla Salt! OMG! Sorry about your mixer, and yes I LOVE Amazon! Looking forward to your new creations!
Thank you, Jenna!
These look amazing! Glad you got the mixer figured out… life without a kitchen aid (my life for the past 4.5 years since I moved away from home) is sad. Looking forward to all the goodies you’ll make with it!
Thank you, Erin!
Omidais. I’ve been reading your blog for the longest while and I didn’t know you were 20. I just turned 20 the other day. You’ve got big buns and you cannot lie 😛 and they got butterscotch too. Yumm yumm!
Haha! Thanks Rochelle! And Happy belated birthday!
Ok Tieghan these look amazing! That mixer looks amazing! By the way, what kind of camera did you get -I’m in the market for one and would love to know!
Thanks Kathy!!
I bought the Cannon 5D Mark iii. It is a power horse and I am still trying to figure out how to use it. LOL! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Glad to hear you have a new mixer on the way! These buns look amazing!!
Thanks so much, Marla!
First of all, so lame about your mixer! But, yay for Amazon coming to the rescue!
I really need to stop coming to your page before I eat breakfast. It always makes my once loved bowl of oatmeal seem like such a let down…I mean, I could be eating these ooey gooey vanilla butterscotch sticky buns! These look to die for!
Oh man, I am sorry!! I seriously wish I could make one appear in front of you for breakfast. That would be awesome! Thanks Taylor! 🙂
I feel like I’ll die if I don’t have these soon. OMG!
Ha! Thanks Katrina!
It’s a huge bummer when your favorite tool breaks, but you are getting a brand new really nice mixer!
These buns are awesome. I’m pinning!
Thank you, Norma! 🙂
Brilliant, T! I adore my favorite sweet dough for yeasted cinnamon rolls and sticky buns (with 2 secret ingredients), but now I can’t wait to use your recipe with Greek yogurt! LOVE butterscotch or caramel anything and appreciate your vanilla salted butterscotch “goo” here. Cannot wait to bake these bad boys! Thanks for sharing and enjoy that new mixer. Isn’t Amazon a life saver? Pinning! P.S. Yes, Averie is right. Check your recipe as it is missing the flour.
Thank you, Stacy!! And thank for the head up about the flour. I added it to the recipe this morning. I hate when I forget ingredients!
And p.s. I may be blind but I think you forgot to add the amt of flour. I always check that b/c I am a small batch girl and this doesn’t look like it makes tons…but I don’t see a numeric value.
First of all, I am so sorry! When it rains, it pours. Omg you poor thing! Okay you want to know what’s REALLY WEIRD is that I own that mixer. I had it for about 2 mos before I decided I wanted a 7 qt. I barely used it. I was trying to sell it to a friend for 250 but she was not convinced she even needs a stand mixer. So if you know anyone who needs a cheap stand mixer, LMK! 🙂
These buns. Epic. Homemade butterscotch. And baked in a muffin pan. And that gorgeous log of dough. All need and bundled. That’s the type of thing that makes me happy to see 🙂
Hi Averie! I could be very much interested in your mixer, let me know!
Should I have gotten the 7qt? I almost did, but then I just went with the 6qt.
And thanks for the heads up about the flour! I hate when I forget ingredients. It’s added now! Glad you like the buns I almost did not post post them since I could no get the pictures exactly the way I wanted them (made them twice, but I needed to perfect the recipe anyway), but I am always super critical and the family thought I was crazy….but they kind of know nothing. LOL!
