Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown sugar – Provides a deep, caramelized sweetness that melts beautifully into the sticky glaze.
- 1/2 cup corn syrup – Adds a touch of sweetness and helps achieve that sticky consistency.
- 1/2 cup butter – For a rich, buttery flavor that enhances the overall taste of the buns.
- 1 cup margarine – Complementing the butter for a tender and moist texture.
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped – Adds a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor.
- 2 1/2 cups pecans, chopped – For a rich, nutty taste and satisfying crunch.
- 1/4 cup white sugar – Balances out the sweetness of the brown sugar.
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon – Infuses the dough with warm, aromatic spice.
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg – Adds a hint of nutty, earthy flavor to the buns.
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Glaze: In a medium-sized saucepot, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Place the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugars have completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Add Nuts: Stir in the chopped walnuts and pecans. Continue cooking for an additional 2 minutes to allow the nuts to become coated in the glaze. Remove from heat.
-
Prepare the Baking Pan: Spoon the nutty glaze mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with 2-inch sides, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Set aside.
-
Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated white sugar with the ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
-
Prepare the Dough: Take each biscuit and cut it in half horizontally to create smaller dough pieces. Dip each piece into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating all sides thoroughly.
-
Arrange in Pan: Place the sugar-coated biscuit pieces, cut side down, in the prepared baking pan on top of the brown sugar mixture. Arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they are close together but not overcrowded.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 23 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the glaze is bubbly.
-
Invert and Serve: Once baked, allow the buns to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving tray, letting the sticky glaze drizzle over the buns. Serve warm and enjoy!
These Cinnamon Sticky Buns are a delectable treat for any occasion, whether it’s a leisurely weekend breakfast or a special brunch with friends. Their sweet, sticky glaze and tender, cinnamon-spiced dough are sure to make them a favorite in your breakfast repertoire.
