Easy Sticky Buns are one of my favorite ways to whip up breakfast or a mid-day snack. You use canned biscuits that you dress up and transform into sticky buns in under 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 or 10-inch cake pan or pie plate with nonstick baking spray.
Add 3 tablespoons unsalted butter that's melted in a small shallow dish.
In a separate shallow dish, add in the 2/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir to combine.
Separate the biscuits. Coat the first 7 biscuits into the melted butter.
Dip the coated biscuit in the cinnamon and sugar until covered.
Place the biscuits in the prepared pan. Press the biscuits close together. It's okay if they are squished.
Cut the remaing biscuit into 8 equal pieces like you would with a pizza.
Dip each piece in the butter and then coat with the cinnamon sugar.
Tuck the pieces into the empty spaces between the biscuits.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, until done. Immediately after the buns are done baking, begin working on the topping.
Topping
Add the 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1/2 chopped pecans in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and let the butter melt while stirring.
Once a sauce forms, remove from the heat and pour it all over the top of the hot biscuits. If the pecans are clumped up, spread them out with a knife or spatula.
Best served the same day and warm.
