EASY STICKY BUNS



Easy Sticky Buns image

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 buns

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup pecans, chopped in very large pieces
1 package (17.3-ounces/ 2-sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a 12-cup standard muffin tin on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 12 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Place 1 rounded tablespoon of the mixture in each of the 12 muffin cups. Distribute the pecans evenly among the 12 muffin cups on top of the butter and sugar mixture.
  • Lightly flour a wooden board or stone surface. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry with the folds going left to right. Brush the whole sheet with the melted butter. Leaving a 1-inch border on the puff pastry, sprinkle each sheet with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of the raisins. Starting with the end nearest you, roll the pastry up snugly like a jelly roll around the filling, finishing the roll with the seam side down. Trim the ends of the roll about 1/2-inch and discard. Slice the roll in 6 equal pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches wide. Place each piece, spiral side up, in 6 of the muffin cups. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry to make 12 sticky buns.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the sticky buns are golden to dark brown on top and firm to the touch. Be careful - they're hot! Allow to cool for 5 minutes only, invert the buns onto the parchment paper (ease the filling and pecans out onto the buns with a spoon) and cool completely.

EASY DELICIOUS PULL-APART STICKY BUNS



Easy Delicious Pull-apart Sticky Buns image

This recipes is quick, easy and oh so good. Using caramel sauce adds just the right amount of ooey gooey goodness. Delish!

Provided by Jacquelyn Limina

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 can(s) refrigerated biscuits
1 1/2 c pecans, halved
3/4 c sugar
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 stick butter or margarine
6 Tbsp caramel ice cream topping

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a jumbo muffin pan with cooking spray. In a large storage food bag, place the sugar and cinnamon in the bag and shake it up. Set aside.
  • 2. Cut the butter or margarine in small pieces and place them into the bottom of the muffin pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the butter, making sure you coat the bottom well. Put 1 tbs of the caramel ice cream topping over the brown sugar. Then sprinkle the pecan halves over the top of the mixture.
  • 3. Take the biscuit dough and tear or cut into medium size pieces. Put the pieces of dough into the bag little at a time. Shake and coat the dough well with the mixture. Take the sugared dough and layer them loosely into the muffin pan on top of the mixture.
  • 4. Put in the oven for 25 minutes til the dough is a deep golden brown. Take them out and immediately dump them on to a cookie sheet. Let stand for 5 minutes or so. Then enjoy.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly. Active dry yeast should be dissolved in warm water (110-115°F) with a pinch of sugar to help it bloom. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast. If the water is too cold, the yeast will not activate properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will give the sticky buns a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the dough to rise.
  • Roll the dough out into a large rectangle. The dough should be about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough. You can use a variety of fillings, such as cinnamon sugar, chocolate chips, or fruit.
  • Roll the dough up into a log. Start from the long side and roll the dough up tightly.
  • Cut the log into 12 pieces. Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts.
  • Place the sticky buns in a greased baking dish. The buns should be touching each other, but not crowded.
  • Let the sticky buns rise for 30 minutes. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the buns to rise.
  • Bake the sticky buns in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. The buns should be baked for about 25-30 minutes.
  • Drizzle the sticky buns with glaze. The glaze will give the buns a shiny and delicious finish.

Conclusion:

Sticky buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sticky buns every time. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give sticky buns a try!
