Hello Russ,
I can't help you with the Forest Park sticky buns. There is a Monroe H.S. Recipe here:
Jewish Times
and a Sykesville, Maryland Middle School recipe below.
The below coddies recipe is from the Baltimore Sun. It doesn't have Old Bay seasoning,
but it's an authentic Baltimore Coddies recipe.

Sykesville Middle School Sticky Buns
from: https://www.carrollk12.org/Assets/file/SML/DEC,%202011%20Scorpion%20Scoop.pdf
In a large mixing bowl place:
- 1 Cup of warm water
- Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of yeast
- 1/4 Cup of sugar
- 1 Teaspoon of salt
- 1 Egg
- 1/4 Cup of margarine ( half a stick)
- 2 Cups (of the 4 Cups) of flour
- 3 Tablespoons of dry milk
Mix with an electric mixer until smooth (about 5 minutes). Add the remaining 2 Cups of flour, working it in by hand to
make a stiff dough. Knead until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a greased bowl, turning to grease the top of the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free
from drafts, until the dough doubles in size. (About an hour.)
While the dough is rising, prepare the syrup for topping as follows:
Place over low heat and stir until melted:
- 1/2 Cup of margarine (one full stick)
- 1 Cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 Cup of water
Pour into a 9x13 pan
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a rectangular piece until about 1/8” thick. Spread with a thick
coat of margarine, then sprinkle with a sugar mixture of:
- 1 Cup of sugar
- 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar
- 2 Teaspoons of cinnamon
Roll up (as for a jelly roll) and cut into 1 1/2” slices. Place in the prepared 9x13 pan of topping mixture, cut side down,
and leave space between each bun because they will expand as they continue to rise.
After placing cut pieces of dough in the baking pan, let rise again until they double in size. (About another hour.)
Bake in a 350º oven for about 20-25 minutes.
When they are done, flip onto a metal pan immediately so the topping can seep into the buns while they are still ho
Baltimore Coddies
Makes 16 to 20 coddies
1/4 pound salt cod or 1 tablespoon cod paste or 1 tablespoon fish flakes
1 to 1 1/4 pounds potatoes
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup crushed crackers
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
vegetable oil for frying
saltine crackers
yellow mustard
If you are using salt cod, soak the fish for 24 hours in a bowl of water.
Change the water every 6 to 8 hours. Cover the fish with water in a pan and
simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and break with a fork; cool. Peel, dice
and boil potatoes until cooked. Drain, mash with 2 tablespoons milk and
cool. In a large bowl, combine salt cod (or cod paste or fish flakes),
potatoes, crackers, eggs and black pepper and make into thin, palm-sized
balls.
Flatten slightly and cook in a pan filled with 1/4 inch of vegetable oil.
Brown cakes on each side and drain. Replace diminished oil between batches.
To serve, place each coddie on a saltine cracker, top with yellow mustard,
and place another saltine on the top. Serve either warm or at room
temperature.
