My mother used to make delicious cinnamon rolls when I was a child. Later, she taught my sister and me to make them. I've since added the caramel and pecans. These scrumptious buns are a huge hit wherever I take them. —Judy Powell Star, Idaho

Caramel-Pecan Sticky Buns Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 30 min.
  • Yield: 12 Servings
30 30 60

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • FILLING:
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, oil, salt and 1-1/4 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into an 18-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Spread butter to within 1/2 in. of edges. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over butter. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
  • Combine brown sugar and cream; pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with pecans. Place rolls cut side down over pecans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until well browned. Cool for 1 minute before inverting onto a serving platter. Yield: 1 dozen.

Delicious! Since I didn't have any heavy whipping cream, I used about 3/8 cup of warm milk and 1/6 cup of melted butter with the brown sugar. I am very happy with the result.

OH MYYYYYY!!! These are SOOOO DELICIOUS! I used another users suggestion about evaporated milk & butter in place of the cream (because I didn't have any). The rolls themselves are PERFECT! I can not say enough wonderful things about this recipe!

Having no cream on hand, I used 1/2 cup butter (instead of 1/4 cup), plus 1/4 cup evaporated milk. I also melted the butter and mixed the filling ingredients, spreading 1/3 of the filling and nuts on the dough, and using the remaining 2/3 in the pan. The result was fabulous.

These are absolutely the best-tasting cinnamon rolls I have ever made. I have been using this recipe for years, and my children are delighted when they find out I'm making them. Because they take a while to prepare, sometimes I prepare the recipe the night before and cover the pan with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking spray, placing the pan in the fridge. In the morning, I set the pan out to come to room temperature, then bake. I have also discovered that if you coat the rolling surface with canola or vegetable oil instead of flour, the dough is not quite as sticky, and makes for a very tender bread!
