This recipe, lovingly passed down from my mom who discovered it in a magazine years ago, has become a cherished family favorite. Whether for breakfast, brunch, or any gathering, these sticky buns are always a hit. I’ve brought them to numerous potlucks, still warm from the oven, and without fail, they vanish completely, leaving no leftovers behind. If you’re looking for a scrumptious treat that’s sure to impress, look no further!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup pecans
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup butter (unsalted)
- ½ cup ground cinnamon
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant butterscotch pudding mix
- 24 frozen dinner rolls (preferably pre-made, but homemade will work too)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Bundt Pan: Begin by greasing a 12-cup Bundt pan thoroughly. Make sure every nook and cranny is well-coated to ensure the sticky buns come out easily after baking.
-
Layer the Pecans: Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan. This will create a delightful, nutty base for your sticky buns.
-
Arrange the Rolls: Place the frozen dinner rolls evenly in the Bundt pan. Ensure you do not exceed 24 rolls, as adding more could cause them to rise too high and overflow during baking, making a mess and affecting the shape of your buns.
-
Add the Pudding Mix: Sprinkle the dry butterscotch pudding mix over the rolls. This step adds a rich, sweet flavor and helps create that gooey texture we all love in sticky buns.
-
Prepare the Syrup: In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add ¾ cup brown sugar and ½ cup ground cinnamon. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Pour the Mixture: Pour the warm butter, sugar, and cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolls. This will create a delicious caramel sauce that seeps into the rolls as they bake.
-
Let the Rolls Rise: Cover the Bundt pan with a towel and let the rolls stand overnight. This allows the frozen rolls to rise and absorb all the sweet, buttery goodness from the mixture.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the sticky buns for approximately 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and bubbly. The aroma will be irresistible!
-
Turn Out and Serve: Once baked, carefully turn the Bundt pan upside down onto a serving plate while the sticky buns are still warm. This step ensures that all the gooey, sugary topping will drip down over the buns.
-
Enjoy: Serve the sticky buns warm and enjoy the sweet, sticky, and nutty delight. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a delicious treat anytime!
