Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces/453 grams) refrigerated biscuit dough (or crescent roll dough)
- 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
Filling Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (50 grams) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup (150 grams) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (80 milliliters) honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a warm 350°F (175°C), ensuring an ideal baking environment for these delectable pastries.
- Thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish or muffin tin with a generous layer of butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Carefully roll out the prepared dough into a rectangular shape, creating an even surface for spreading the filling.
- Evenly distribute the cinnamon-sugar mixture across the dough’s surface, making sure to cover every inch for maximum flavor infusion.
- Gently roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight, uniform cylinder that will produce beautiful spiraled buns.
- Slice the rolled dough into consistent pieces, using a sharp knife or dental floss for clean, precise cuts.
- Arrange the cut sections in the prepared baking dish, allowing slight space between each bun for rising and expansion.
- Pour the prepared caramel or brown sugar mixture over the buns, ensuring each piece is generously coated for a rich, gooey texture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the buns turn a golden-brown color and emit a tantalizing aroma.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes, allowing the caramel to set slightly before serving.
- Carefully invert the baking dish onto a serving platter, revealing the glossy, caramel-covered sticky buns.
Notes
- Use a non-stick cooking spray or butter to ensure easy release of sticky buns from the pan.
- For extra caramelization, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on the bottom of the baking dish before adding the dough.
- Enhance flavor by adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar mixture for a warm, aromatic twist.
- Allow buns to cool for 5-10 minutes after baking to let the caramel sauce set and prevent burning your mouth.
