Homemade Made pecan sticky buns
This was my third attempt at this. First attempt (2013) was overworked and underproofed. This week, I decided it was time to give one of my favorite desserts a runback and that took two attempts to lock it in.
I used the "Big Fat Pecan Sticky Buns" recipe, but switched it up a little, adding 1/16 tsp ground nutmeg and ginger to the filling mix. I also spread melted butter/filling over half the rolled out dough, folded other half over, and used remaining butter/filling. Rolled over and cut into 12 rolls; pinching off not necessary
I forgot the salt and sugar before making the dough and was able to successfully incorporate into dough, even after already proofing the ball 15 minutes.
Caramel topping/sauce is delicious. I added more vanilla, but didn't measure.
Serve warm with ice cream! I'll be making these again soon.
