Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup pecans (chopped)
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or align it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon until smooth.
Spread the sugar-butter mixture evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish, then sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, unroll both cans of crescent roll dough. Pinch the seams together to form two large rectangles.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Brush the melted butter over the dough rectangles evenly.
Sprinkle granulated sugar over the buttered dough, then roll each rectangle tightly from the long edge to form logs.
Cut each log into 8 equal slices, so you’ll have 16 rolls in total. Arrange the slices over the pecan-sugar mixture in the baking dish, with the spiral side facing upward.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Allow the buns to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert the dish onto a serving plate to release the sticky topping. Serve warm and enjoy!
