For Carol’s election party, the theme was comfort food. After about 3 days of thought, I decided to make Maple Pecan Sticky Buns (found on epicurious.com). Now, these are pretty work intensive (and there’s a huge clean-up) so take a look at this process before you decide to make these.
First, you make a dough, one with quite a bit of ingredients.
Then you make a syrup, pour it in the pans, and drizzle with chopped nuts.
Then, there’s the filling. You need to break out the food processor, which also means cleaning it.
The dough needs to be rolled out/stretched out and then brushed with butter.
The filling is sprinkled on.
The dough needs to be rolled up (which is hard with my tiny hands).
Score the dough to help even sizing.
Naturally, next you’d cut through.
Place buns in the syrup laden pans (6 in each 13×9 pan, makes 12).
Press down lightly on the buns, cover and rest (there is a 50 min option and a over-night option).
If you refrigerate over night, they have to sit out before baking. They bake up nicely and must be turned out immediately.
Now, if you’re up to it, click here for the full recipe. Everyone at the party sure did love them!

These sticky buns taste great and my kids love to help. They admired the stickyness of the buns, and it’s worth the time and effort for a delicious food!
