Southern Sticky Buns Recipe
My southern grandmother passed down this sticky bun recipe to me, and it’s been a family favorite
ever since! The Southern chefs at Heavenly
are known for their culinary skills and certainly know how to prepare a luxurious breakfast. These rich
and delicious sticky buns are proof of that. They are made from a dough that is allowed to rise twice,

creating an exceptionally fluffy consistency. Topped with a delicious blend of pecans, butter, brown
sugar, and honey, these sticky buns are irresistibly sticky and sweet, and the topping caramelizes
deliciously as it runs down the sides.The wonderful thing about this recipe is the convenience it offers.
You can do all the prep work the night before and then bake the rolls first thing in the morning. So
you can enjoy fresh, hot sticky buns without having to get up before the sun. Simply stop the recipe

at step 8, cover the prepared rolls with plastic wrap, and place them in the refrigerator. In the
morning, take the dough out of the fridge about an hour before you plan to bake it so that it can
come to room temperature and rise a second time.

1 cup milk, heated to about 30°C
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 packets instant yeast
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
2 large eggs

½ tsp Salt

½ cup packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

¼ cup unsalted butter

¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Instructions:
Start with the dough. Combine milk, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl or the bowl of a mixer and whisk
until fluffy, about 10 minutes.
Add the butter and mix for about 30 seconds. Continue with the eggs, adding one at a time, mixing
well after each. Add salt.Gradually add flour on low speed, mixing well with each addition. Increase
the speed to medium, then to medium-high and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms.
Place the dough on a floured work surface, knead for a minute and then place in a greased bowl.
Cover and let rest in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
For the topping, melt brown sugar, butter and honey or syrup in a saucepan and stir until
smooth.Pour onto the baking tray and sprinkle nuts over it.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. For the filling, melt the butter and mix the
brown sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Brush the dough with melted butter and then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll up
tightly from one long side and cut into 12 rolls.Place the rolls on the topping in the baking dish, cover
and let them rest for about 45 minutes.
Toward the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 375°F.
Bake the buns for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn
out onto a plate.
Serve these hot, sticky rolls and watch them disappear: Southern hospitality in every bite.Vinegar is
