ingredients
-
Dough
- 2 1⁄4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup warm water
- 1⁄4 cup dry milk
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
-
Filling
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1⁄2 cup cinnamon sugar
-
Glaze
- 1⁄2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon rum (optional) or 1 tablespoon rum extract (optional)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pecan pieces
directions
- In a large mixing blow or electric mixer, combine all of the dough ingredients, mixing to form a shaggy dough.
- Knead the dough, by hand or by machine, for 10 minutes.
- Allow it to rest for 10 minutes, then knead for an additional 10 minutes, until it's smooth and supple (though still somewhat sticky).
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and allow it to rest for 1 1/2 hours; it'll become quite puffy although it may not double in bulk.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the syrup, the rum if you're using it, and the melted butter. Pour into a lightly greased 9x13" pan.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and pecans on top of the glaze; set aside.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled or floured work surface and roll it into a 16x12" rectangle.
- Spread dough with the 2 tablespoons of softened butter and the cinnamon-sugar mix.
- Starting with a long edge, roll the dough into a 16" log.
- Slice the log into 16 one-inch pieces.
- Place the buns in the prepared pan, cover the pan, and allow the buns to rise till doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- OR chill them overnight and cook them the next morning -- take them out of the fridge while your oven is preheating.
- Bake the sticky buns in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, tenting them with aluminum foil for the final 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
- Remove the buns from the oven and invert them onto a cooling rack, scraping any of the sticky topping that has remained in the pan onto the buns.
