These sticky buns were nothing like I expected them to be. The taste of molasses was over powering. I have other recipe's that are easier and taste better that I'll stick with.

I have made this many times. I don't use frozen dough though. i homemake my own. So I guess i just use this recipe for the Mollasses sauce. Still escellent. I don't flip mine over. Just leave it as is and people can mess with theirs themselves. I get compliments on it everytime I make it!!!!

I made this but I decided to change it up. I used an iron skillet an 1/2 stick of butter melted and I sprinkled 1/2 cup dark brown sugar on the bottom of skillet and then I sprinkled some chopped pecans and cherries the put the buns on top and let rise. It is easy to turn over. Just use a plate a little larger than the skillet place the plate on top of skillet and turn over. You don't use as much sugar or syrpe and helps to cut back on calories. also good with crushed pineapple in place of cherries or use all three, cherries, pineapple and chopped pecans.--hummm good!

Really good! I put a cookie sheet over the pan & flipped them onto that but holding the 2 pans together & flipping- easier than trying to flip onto a platter.

My family has made this recipe for many years. However, instead of water and molasses, we use Karo White Syrup. Sometimes we use brown sugar and cinnamon as the filler, not white sugar and cinnamon. We also like to sprinkle nuts (chopped walnuts or pecans) on the sauce that has been poured into the pan before we put the rolls on top of it. A tip to removing them from the pan is to take a knife and go along all four edges before flipping it over.
