EASY STICKY BUNS
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.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Put the flour in a food processor with the butter and sugar, and mix until it forms fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 1-2 tbsp cold water, and pulse to make a firm dough.
- Have ready a 24cm tart tin. Briefly knead the pastry on a lightly floured surface, then roll out to a round about 5cm larger than your tin. Lift onto the tin with the help of your rolling pin, then press into the corners using your finger. Do not trim the pastry. Fill the pastry case with a round of baking parchment and baking beans. Chill for 10 mins. Blindbake for 10 mins, remove the paper and beans, then bake for 5 mins more.
- To make the filling, put the sugar in a large pan with 3 tbsp cold water. Heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is completely dissolved, increase heat and bubble until the syrup has turned a rich caramel colour. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it has dissolved, then stir in the cream. Return to the heat and boil hard, stirring until the sauce is thick enough to leave a gap on the base of the pan when you draw your spoon across it. Stir in the walnuts.
- Fill the pastry case with the nut mixture, levelling it with a fork. Return to the oven for 8-10 mins until the filling is bubbling. Cool for 10 mins before removing carefully from the tin. Serve warm or cold.

Tips:
- Prep your mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Activate the yeast: To ensure that your sticky buns rise properly, activate the yeast in warm milk or water with a little bit of sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an important step that helps develop its gluten and elasticity. This will result in soft and chewy sticky buns.
- Let the dough rise: After you've kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce gas, which will create the characteristic air pockets in your sticky buns.
- Make the caramel: While the dough is rising, you can make the caramel filling. This is a simple mixture of brown sugar, butter, and cream. Be careful not to overcook the caramel, or it will become too hard.
- Assemble the sticky buns: Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the caramel filling evenly over the dough, then roll it up tightly. Cut the roll into 12 even pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.
- Bake the sticky buns: Bake the sticky buns in a preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Conclusion:
Walnut caramel sticky buns are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their gooey caramel filling and sweet glaze, these sticky buns are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. If you're looking for a new baking project to try, give these sticky buns a try.
