Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the brown sugar and light corn syrup, stirring until smooth and slightly bubbly. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the caramel mixture in the baking dish.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar blend.

Step 5

Lightly flour a clean surface with 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour and unroll the crescent roll dough. Pinch together any perforations in the dough to create a solid sheet.

Step 6

Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar blend evenly on top.

Step 7

Starting with the longer edge of the dough, tightly roll it into a log. Slice the log into 12 evenly sized pieces.

Step 8

Place the sliced rolls cut-side down into the baking dish on top of the caramel and pecans.

Step 9

Bake the sticky buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the buns cool for 5 minutes. Place a large plate or platter over the baking dish and carefully invert the sticky buns onto the plate (be cautious of the hot caramel).

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
