Sticky Buns





I can't take credit for the creation of these. This is one of Ina Garten's fabulous recipes. Once you have made these you will never try them any other way. They're super simple and taste great!

Cook's Notes- My sticky buns in the picture look small because I only used 1 sheet of dough to make 12 rolls. I wanted smaller rolls.

2 sticks of softened butter
1 cup light brown sugar(divided into thirds)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 package of puff pastry, defrosted.
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup of raisins, optional

Preheat the oven to 400. Spray the cups of a 12 cup cupcake tin with baking spray. Melt half of 1 stick of butter. Roll out each sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured board to about 11 inches.
Brush each sheet with the melted butter. Sprinkle on 1/3 cup of brown sugar between to the two pieces of dough. Do the same for the cinnamon and the raisins. Roll each piece up starting on the long side. Cut each roll into 6 pieces. In a small bowl mix together the rest of the butter, brown sugar together. Fold in the pecans. Drop 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture into the bottom of each cake cup. Place 1 piece of rolled up dough on top of the butter mixture. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the buns are golden on top and firm to the touch. Let them sit for 5 minutes and carefully invert the pan onto parchment paper and place on a plate to serve.
