Directions

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk, eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup of the butter or margarine, 1/2 cup of the sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend 30 seconds with mixer on low speed, scraping sides and bottom of bowl. Beat 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in remaining 3 cups flour. (Dough should remain soft and slightly sticky) Knead for 5 minutes, or about 200 turns on a lightly floured board. Cover dough and allow to rest for half an hour.

  • Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 12x7 inch rectangle. Spread each half with 1 tablespoon soft butter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the sugar and 1 teaspoon of the ground cinnamon. Roll up the halves, beginning at the wide side. Seal well by pinching the seams. Cut each roll into 12 slices.

  • Coat two 9 inch round cake pans with 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans in each pan. Place 12 dough slices in each pan, leaving a small space between slices. Let rise until doubled.

  • Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes. Invert pans onto serving plates immediately.

YUMMMMMMMMY...Gooey and sticky just like a pecan buns should be! Scaled ingredients to fit into my bread machine and used dough cycle. Used combo of pecans and walnuts which is what I had on hand. I spread more than 1 T butter on dough more like 2-3 T. Used 13x9 pan instead of 2-9" round pans and baked 25 minutes. Dough rose high and house smelled wonderful while they baked. This recipe goes into our permanent rotation to be used frequently. Read More

I totally agree with the last girl where's the sticky? I spent my whole afternoon making them following every step to the tee and they were not sticky at all! Read More

I'd vote this a 3.5 stars if possible.. it was okay but it really tasted like it was lacking something. The dough tasted too yeasty and though it smelled just like a yummy sticky bun it didn't have the same taste. It was too dry even though I put a little extra filling inside (little more butter). I think I may try this recipe again but with less yeast and more of the butter-sugar filling. Read More

WOW! YUM!Stefanie you outdid yourself lady! These are sooooo wonderful. The dough part is absolutely perfect. These are like the sticky buns I buy for 2.75 each at a local bakery. I baked in a 9X13 at 375 degrees for exactly 23 minutes. PEERRFECT! How come so few reviews? PEOPLE! TRY THIS RECIPE! You won't be sorry. I used my bread machine... didn't even need to scale this down. I have a Zojirushi and I knew it made large loaves but I didn't think it would handle this much dough.....but it did....with flying colors. Thanks Stefanie. Read More

I substituted the butter and margarine with Spray Fat Free "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" which doesn't make as gooey as butter or margarine but makes it a much lower fat. But I had to heat it at a lower heat with the brown sugar. I also did not use the egg yolks. It did turn out a tad drier but it was still really good. Read More

These are great! Honestly I like the taste of another similar recipe from this site a LITTLE bit better BUT these are MUCH easier and don't take 3 hours to make one batch. Still the taste of these are 5-star worthy. AND THEY MAKE ALOT (if you roll/cut right = they make 24 rolls!)!! I might try halving the recipe next time. A highly recommended recipe! Went great with our french toast and smoothie breakfast...the BEST way to wake up on a Saturday morning! Didn't and wouldn't change a thing!! Thanks so much Stefanie! Read More

Many enjoyed this recipe but I find it wasn't as luscious as others did. I wouldn't make it again. Half the dough in a 9" pan to much for a pan that size. Cooked the 30 minutes and the center still wasn't done. My question is where is the gooey!!! Read More
