Butter braid plus#

I made this all in the morning, and it took about 30 minutes plus baking. They come two to a box, and they're folded in thirds, which makes it very easy when you're spreading the filling and cutting the strips. I bought the Pillsbury sheets in the freezer section.

I like to make my own puff pastry, but I figured most of you would be buying the sheets, so I went that route. It's thick and gooey, and it stayed in the braid. Did I mention that I made two pastries with that filling, which I didn't want to throw away? Off for a run. The next time, I cooked the filling and this one was on the money. I mean, it still was edible, but not something I wanted to share. And then when I baked it, the filling ran out, it was really grainy, thin, and just not very good. The first time I made these, I melted the butter, added the other ingredients, and patted it into the pastry. Plus, I didn't want to wait for it in the mail. Therefore, I started experimenting. You can buy a mix from King Arthur's Flour, but that kind of goes against the making it homemade thing. I learned it's sometimes called bakers cinnamon filling, but I could not find a recipe. I searched and searched for a recipe for the thick, gooey cinnamon filling. I don't think I've had one for a couple of years, and since I love making things homemade, I decided to try making them myself. The problem is that I can only order them once a year (or less if I don't know anyone who has kids selling them), and then you have to store them in the freezer, which is prime real estate in my house. Have you ever had a butter braid? I'm pretty sure you only can get them through school fundraisers, and they are good! They have a lot of different filling options, but my favorite is the cinnamon one.
