Ingredients
Scale
Sticky Bun Topping
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (150g, for caramelization)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick / 113g, for a rich base)
- 0.5 cup pecans, coarsely chopped (54.5g, for nutty crunch (walnuts also work))
Rolls
- 2 tubes crescent rolls (8-count each, seamless or perforated)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick / 113g, for spreading)
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed (100g, for sweet, cinnamony core)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for irresistible flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and chopped pecans for the topping. Spread this mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Carefully unroll the crescent dough and separate the triangles.
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, packed light brown sugar, and cinnamon, mashing with a fork to create a spreadable paste.
- Spread a thin, even layer of the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the wide part of each crescent roll triangle.
- Starting from the widest end, roll up each triangle tightly.
- Place the rolled-up dough seam-side down, nestled together in the prepared baking pan on top of the pecan mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Immediately invert the pan onto a serving plate to allow the caramel to ooze over the buns. Be careful, the pan and topping are hot!
Notes
For best results, ensure butter is properly softened for the filling. Avoid overfilling to prevent unrolling during baking. Topping and filling can be prepped a day ahead. Immediate inversion after baking is crucial for the caramel.
