Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup butter (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for coating)
- 1/3 teaspoon cinnamon (for coating)
- 5 refrigerated biscuit dough rounds
Instructions:
-
Melt the Butter: Begin by melting 1/4 cup of butter in a microwave-safe pie plate. To do this, place the butter in the pie plate and microwave on high for 40 seconds to 1 minute, or until fully melted.
-
Prepare the Caramel Mixture: Once the butter is melted, add the remaining topping ingredients—1/2 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of corn syrup—into the melted butter. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
-
Cook the Caramel Topping: Microwave the caramel mixture on high for 1 minute. After heating, stir the mixture again to ensure it’s well combined.
-
Add Pecans: Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the caramel mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
-
Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter by microwaving it on high for 20 to 30 seconds. In a separate small dish, mix together 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1/3 teaspoon of cinnamon.
-
Coat the Biscuit Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into 5 rounds. Dip each biscuit into the melted butter, making sure all sides are coated. Then, roll each biscuit in the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat thoroughly.
-
Arrange the Biscuits: Arrange the coated biscuit rounds in a circular pattern over the caramel mixture in the pie plate.
-
Cook the Rolls: Microwave the entire dish on high for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the middle of the biscuits is no longer doughy. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so start checking at the 4-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the caramel pecan rolls to cool in the pie plate for about 1 minute. Carefully invert the pie plate onto a serving plate to release the rolls. Serve them warm for the best flavor and texture.
Enjoy your Microwave Caramel Pecan Rolls! These sweet treats are perfect for a quick breakfast or a delightful snack that can be prepared in a flash. Your family will love the gooey caramel and the crispy pecans combined with soft, cinnamon-sugar-coated biscuit dough. 🌰🍯🕒
