Yield 12 at a brunch buffet

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 Tbs. butter, melted
2 Tbs. honey
1/2 cup chopped pecans*
1 package (two 9" by 9" sheets) of puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbs. cinnamon
*toast the pecans slightly for better flavor if you have the time

Steps:

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin liberally with a non-stick spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the butter and the honey and divide the mixture equally among the cups (place about 1 tsp. into each cup). Divide the nuts eequally into each cup, also about a teaspoon. Unfold the puff pastry sheets onto waxed paper, and roll them out slightly to get rid of the creases. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle or spread evenly all over the two pastry sheets. Roll up one of the sheets jelly-roll fashion and slice the roll into 6 pieces. Place each piece (on its cut end so you can see the cinnamon sugar spiral) into a cup of the muffin tin, squishing it down slightly into the nuts. Repeat with the other sheet. Bake in the 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes until the buns have risen and are golden brown. Invert immediately onto a waxed paper-lined, rimmed cookie sheet. Very carefully since they are hot, quickly spoon up any scattered nuts and place them on the buns. The syrup will harden into a chewy brittle consistency. Allow to cool 5 minutes and serve.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
If you don't have any cinnamon on hand, you can substitute pumpkin pie spice, apple pie spice, or even a mixture of nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
If you don't have any raisins, you can substitute chopped walnuts, pecans, or dried cranberries.
Be sure to let the sticky buns rise in a warm place until they are double in size. This will ensure that they are light and fluffy.
When baking the sticky buns, keep an eye on them so that they don't overcook. They should be golden brown on top and the glaze should be bubbling.
Let the sticky buns cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the glaze to set and prevent it from running off the buns.

Conclusion:

Sticky buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their gooey, sweet glaze and soft, fluffy texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or dessert, give these sticky buns a try!
