Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with butter or cooking spray.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the brown sugar and light corn syrup, stirring until smooth and slightly bubbly. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the caramel mixture in the baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar blend.
Lightly flour a clean surface with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and unroll the crescent roll dough. Pinch together any perforations in the dough to create a solid sheet.
Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar blend evenly on top.
Starting with the longer edge of the dough, tightly roll it into a log. Slice the log into 12 evenly sized pieces.
Place the sliced rolls cut-side down into the baking dish on top of the caramel and pecans.
Bake the sticky buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the buns cool for 5 minutes. Place a large plate or platter over the baking dish and carefully invert the sticky buns onto the plate (be cautious of the hot caramel).
Serve warm and enjoy!
