Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your honey buns will bake to a perfect golden brown finish.
-
-
Prepare the baking pan: Grease a 9-inch round pan to prevent the buns from sticking during baking. You can use butter, cooking spray, or a non-stick baking spray.
-
Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of Bisquick baking mix with 1/3 cup of sugar and 2/3 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Add 1 egg and mix everything together. Gradually add in 1/2 cup of whipping cream (or milk, if preferred) and stir until a soft dough forms.
-
Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a cloth-covered board lightly dusted with Bisquick. Gently knead the dough for about 10 times to bring it together. Don’t overwork it, as you want the buns to stay light and fluffy.
-
Shape the dough: Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Arrange 12 of the balls around the edge of the prepared pan, forming a circle. Place the remaining 4 balls in the center to create a lovely bun arrangement.
-
Bake the buns: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through. The tops should be slightly crispy while the inside remains soft and airy.
-
Finishing touches: Once the buns are baked, remove them from the pan. Drizzle 1/2 cup of honey evenly over the top of the buns, letting it soak into the warm dough. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of chopped pecans for a nice crunch and extra flavor.
-
Serve and enjoy: Allow the honey buns to cool for just a moment before serving. These buns are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack to share with family and friends.
Tips for Success
- Consistency of dough: If the dough feels too sticky, dust it lightly with additional Bisquick. If it’s too dry, add a little more cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Make it your own: Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, or even add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the dough for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serving suggestions: These honey buns pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. They’re also a great addition to a breakfast spread with fruits, scrambled eggs, or yogurt.
