Description

Classic sticky buns deliver pure Southern comfort with caramelized pecans and gooey cinnamon swirls. Homemade pastry promises a delightful breakfast treat you’ll savor with pure pleasure.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz/453 g) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (50 g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (80 mL) honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsps butter, melted
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray to guarantee effortless pastry release.
  2. Dough Preparation: Roll out the dough into a uniform rectangular shape, then lavishly sprinkle the entire surface with cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring complete flavor coverage.
  3. Rolling and Cutting: Tightly roll the dough from the long side into a compact cylinder, then slice into consistent sections using a sharp knife or dental floss for precise cuts.
  4. Arrangement and Coating: Position the cut buns in the prepared baking dish with minimal spacing, then generously drench with caramel or brown sugar mixture to create a luxurious, glossy exterior.
  5. Baking: Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake until the buns transform into a rich golden-brown color and release an irresistible aroma, indicating perfect doneness.
  6. Serving: Allow the baked sticky buns to rest briefly, then carefully invert onto a serving platter, revealing the decadent caramel-glazed pastries ready to be enjoyed warm and fresh.

Notes

  • Precise Dough Temperature: Keep dough at room temperature for easier rolling and better texture, preventing tough buns.
  • Even Rolling Technique: Use consistent pressure when rolling dough to ensure uniform thickness and prevent uneven baking.
  • Strategic Sugar Distribution: Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture right to the edges to guarantee maximum flavor in every bite.
  • Cutting Precision: Use unflavored dental floss instead of a knife for cleaner, smoother cuts that maintain the dough’s delicate structure.
