Ingredients
Scale
Sticky Buns
- 1 package (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch round or square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the sticky buns do not adhere to the pan.
- Make Caramel Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Stir continuously until the mixture melts completely and is smooth. Pour this sticky caramel mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Add Pecans: If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the caramel layer to add crunch and flavor.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon with a bit of extra brown sugar if desired for extra sweetness. Separate the biscuit dough pieces and lightly roll each one in the cinnamon mixture, coating them evenly.
- Arrange Dough in Pan: Place the cinnamon-coated biscuit dough pieces evenly over the caramel and nuts in the pan, spacing them slightly.
- Bake: Bake the buns for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and are fully cooked through.
- Cool and Invert: Allow the sticky buns to rest for 5 minutes after baking. Carefully invert the baking pan onto a large plate or tray to release the buns with the caramel topping now on top.
- Serve Warm: Serve the sticky buns warm for the best flavor and gooey texture.
Notes
- For added flavor, try adding a dash of vanilla extract to the caramel mixture before pouring it into the pan.
- These sticky buns are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be gently reheated in the microwave for a few seconds the following day.
