MINI PECAN STICKY BUNS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 72 buns

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 cup light corn syrup
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pack store-bought bread dough (3 loaves per pack)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the topping: In a pan, melt the butter and add the pecans, corn syrup and vanilla. Let the mixture bubble up for a minute, then remove from the heat. Spoon 1 teaspoon of the mixture into each cup of three 24-hole mini-muffin tins.
  • For the rolls: Roll out each piece of dough into a 6-by-24-inch rectangle (should roll out very thin!). Pour a third of the melted butter on each piece, then sprinkle a third of the sugar and a third of the cinnamon evenly over each surface.
  • Starting at the far end of one piece, roll the dough into a long log, rolling toward you. You'll end up with a 24-inch log. With a sharp knife, cut into very thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
  • Lay the sliced rolls into the muffin tins on top of the pecan mixture, tucking the tails under and patting them firmly on top of the topping. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 13 minutes.
  • Turn out the rolls from the pans immediately. Invert carefully, so that the rolls turn out and the pecans stay stuck to the bottoms (which are now the tops!). If a little of the pecans stick in the tins, just dig them out with a spoon and reapply them to the rolls.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into even pieces. This will help ensure that the rolls cook evenly.

  • Be sure to roll the dough out to a 12x18 inch rectangle. This will ensure that the rolls are the perfect size.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough. If you add too much filling, the rolls will be difficult to roll up.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Cut the rolls into 1-inch pieces. This will make them the perfect size for serving.
  • Bake the rolls at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
