When you’re feeling a little down and out and need something to cheer you up and literally comfort your soul, there’s nothing like sticky buns to change your day.  Soft and fluffy rolls backed in a rich, and decadent brown sugar and pecan caramel sauce.  The warm buttery caramel and the smell of roasted pecans fills your home with the most incredible aroma… sometimes, I make these just for the smell alone. This quick and easy recipe takes no time to make. There’s no yeast to measure, no dough to knead…. Just a few steps and they’ll be ready in no time. When it’s chilly and dark outside or you’re feeling blue, there’s no better treat to keep you cozy and lift your spirits.

 

My Quick and Easy Sticky Buns

  

Topping

 ¾ cup brown sugar

½ cup (1 stick butter, melted

1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9 x 13 or 11 x 8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. I like to use the butter flavored.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar until blended. Pour it into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. You can tilt the pan to get it to coast the entire bottom.

Sprinkle the top with chopped pecans.  Set aside while you make your rolls.

 

Rolls

2 tubes crescent dough sheets

½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened

½ cup light brown sugar, packed

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

 

Working on a clean work surface, roll out both tubes of dough. Lay both sheets side by side so that you have one large square of dough. Smooth over the seam running down the middle to blend as one large sheet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using a spatula, spread the soft butter evenly all over the dough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filling

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working on the long edge, roll the dough into a log. Slice into equal-sized pieces. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nestle each piece into the sticky topping in the pan. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flip the baked sticky buns onto a large cookie sheet or sheet pan. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remove from pan with a spatula.  The caramel will be hot!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serve warm. 

 

Bet you’d like a bite.  Can you smell them?  Yum.
