Pecan Sticky Buns are the best hot sticky bun recipe out there, made just the way grandma on the farm made them with a caramel pecan sauce. 

Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons active yeast (, or 1 packet)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 2 eggs (, whisked )
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable shortening (, melted (not oil))
  • Cooking Spray
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup pecans (, chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter (, melted)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoons cinnamon

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the whole milk in the microwave for 1 minute (scalded milk), but not over 112°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a bread hook, or a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar and salt.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup over low heat. Stir until brown sugar is dissolved and fully incorporated and remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a rectangle, approximately 14x22 inches. Brush the melted butter over dough and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
