Great blog, PJ! Some people may not know that Jacques Jacques Pépin and Pierre Franey were hand-picked by Howard Johnson himself, back in the 60's, to develop recipes for the restaurant chain. I'm sure that's a big part of why the food was so good back in the day. Although I live in New Hampshire, I still bought this pan last year. My husband and I have been unhappy with the decreasing quality of store-bought bread, so I decided to start baking my own. I'm proud to say that I have achieved my goal of no longer buying any store-bought bread at all, largely in part to King Arthur Flour. I never even knew that such as thing as this hot dog pan existed until I saw it in one of your catalogs. The recipe that came with the pan is good, but this one sounds better - more butter plus the dry milk powder. I will be trying it next time I need to make hot dog buns!
