Ridiculously Good Sticky Buns (aka Cinnamon Rolls)
Rule #1 allow yourself enough time to make these since it's of the essence.
Dough :
1 Cup warm milk
1 pkg active dry yeast
1/2 cup brown sugar
5- 5 1/2 Cups flour
1/2 Cup butter
2 eggs
2 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
Filling :
3 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1 Cup chopped pecans
(raisins optional)
Topping :
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 cup butter
1/3 rum (for adults version)
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
About a day ahead of time prepare dough. Add warm milk, sugar, and yeast till dissolved.
Next beat eggs, butter, and flour, and rest of dough ingredients until dough is nice and soft. Kneed until smooth. Coat with butter, transfer to a large bowl, cover and refrigerate for 8 hours... (or overnight)
Next day (or several hours of PATIENTLY waiting later), prepare the filling. Once dough has been rolled out into a rectangular -ish shape. Coat with butter and spread filling over. Roll up and then cut dough cross/wise... (whatever if I hadn't seen this or done it before I never would have figured it out)
Place them in a pan, and allow TIME to rise. Only an hour and a half longer!!!
(Huge sigh! Kids nagging "are they done yet? are they done yet?" )
Finally, bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cover with topping! and eat!! eat eat eat!!!
