Ingredients
Scale
Sticky Bun Topping
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp light corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Sticky Buns
- 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch round baking dish or cake pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal after baking.
- Make the sticky topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, packed brown sugar, light corn syrup, and ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Assemble the sticky buns: Pour the sugar mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the sugar mixture for added crunch and flavor. Arrange the refrigerated biscuit dough pieces on top of this sticky layer in a single layer, spaced closely together.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are fully cooked through.
- Invert and serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes to set the topping. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate so the sticky topping now sits on top of the buns. Serve warm for the best indulgent experience.
Notes
- For a twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the sugar mixture to enhance the flavor profile.
- You can substitute refrigerated biscuit dough with crescent roll dough for a slightly different, flakier texture.
- Ensure to let the buns cool briefly before inverting to prevent the sticky topping from spilling.
- Serve with butter or a drizzle of cream cheese glaze for extra richness.
