2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
5 tablespoons light corn syrup
3/4 cup pecans or 3/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar.

  • Add butter, eggs and salt and mix well.
  • Add the yeast mixture and blend.
  • Gradually add flour and knead until smooth, adding more flour as needed to control stickiness.
  • Once the dough is no longer sticky and is soft and silky feeling, it is ready.
  • Place in a large greased bowl.
  • Cover and let rise until double in bulk (about 45 minutes to 1 hour).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out to a 17 x 10 inch rectangle.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of softened butter over surface.
  • In small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together.
  • Sprinkle all over the surface of the dough, over the butter.
  • Starting from one long end, roll up dough very tightly, jelly-roll style.
  • With a very sharp knife, cut a notch every 2 inches, and cut into 10 rolls.
  • Make Topping: In a saucepan or in a microwave oven combine butter, brown sugar and corn syrup.
  • Heat and stir until blended and sugar has nearly melted.
  • Pour topping into the bottom of a 15 x 10 inch baking pan and sprinkle nut meats over.
  • Place cinnamon buns on top of the caramel sauce.
  • Press rolls down with your hands just a little.
  • Allow to rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour).

  • Remove pan from oven, cover with foil and invert onto cooling racks.
  • Cool 1 minute, and remove pan.
  • Let them cool at least a further 15-20 minutes before eating.

Tips:

1. Prep Your Ingredients: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This allows them to mix evenly and prevents the butter from becoming too hard to spread. 2. Activate the Yeast: Follow the recipe's instructions for activating the yeast. This usually involves dissolving it in warm water with a bit of sugar. Set it aside until foamy, indicating the yeast is active. 3. Make the Dough: Combine the activated yeast mixture with the flour, sugar, salt, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until a smooth and elastic dough forms. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size. 4. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is rising, make the filling by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped walnuts. Set it aside until ready to use. 5. Roll and Cut the Dough: After the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side. Cut into 12 equal pieces. 6. Arrange and Bake: Place the cut dough pieces in a greased baking pan, leaving some space between them to expand. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven and bake the sticky buns until golden brown. 7. Make the Glaze: While the buns are baking, prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Once the buns are out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over them while still warm.

Conclusion:

With proper preparation, attention to detail, and following these tips, you can create delectable cinnamon walnut sticky buns that are soft, flavorful, and sure to impress. Remember to use room-temperature ingredients for optimal mixing and rising, activate the yeast correctly, and allow enough time for the dough to rise. Enjoy these delightful sticky buns as a special breakfast treat or a sweet snack, perfect for sharing with loved ones or indulging yourself in a moment of pure bliss. Happy baking!
